darkness falls
inside my mind
i seem
to leave
the world behind
all colours fade
and smiles turn down
my good times ghosts
to haunt me

my face a mask
life a task
no one can save me
as i fall
and darkness falls
around me

tight piece, Allan..moody, brooding..lovely!

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Oh Allan, this poem seems like it is shouting... if that is the correct way to describe it!  I know the feeling of falling into the black abyss.  I hope you are okay.  Do take care.

i have to say that to me this poem isnt shouting...its quiet. whispering... silently begging and hoping to be saved by someone or something at the last moment.

thanks all.. The depression has lifted a little for now... it seems to be happening more and more frequently and my resistance is growing weaker... this was my response to that and to the poem 'Depression' by Lil OnE

Allan *hugs* banish that depression hon.. it only seeks to harm.  A simple piece that speaks volumes and something in it reminds the reader how it feels 'to drown in misery and darkness'.  Well done

Alan, I hope you feel much better soon. This was quite a powerful and accurate depiction of that feeling, when you can't quite climb out of the hole. You take care, and keep writing.
