I've fallen into a deep hole
There is darkness...no light
The darkness seeps in
deep into my soul

I scream
Scream yet noone hears
noone
I feel fear
Fear is what brought me here in the first place
This place of silence
I've fallen from grace

Noone can save me now
Because noone can hear
I've fallen...into the depth of despair

The depth of my despair is a lonely place
Just silence and darkness
Just a void in a piece of lonely space

Darkness falls over me
Like a blanket
Covering me whole
Covering my spirit, my heart, my soul

I'm empty now
I'm all alone

In the darkness I lie
In the darkness I cry
Still noone hears
I'm all alone with my fears

Alone in the dark lying
Alone in the dark crying

Please don't get too depressed.... you are a very good poet and there is work to be done.
Remove that blanket and take out the pen, sign yourself in...it's important!

take care......ethome..

An interesting read,
A chaotic delving into darkness,
of which I don't dread,
but my blanket is starkness,
a void.

enjoyed the feel of your words.

MyTracieFriend~
Very different style from my little friend.
The dark would not consume you,
for your light of kindness shines.

Depth here in this piece from you.
What a sheer joy to see you grow in your writing.

Big ole' hugs to you this morn.
Love ya', gal.

The darkness is a lonely place my friend. . . but your light will shine like the sun. . . to help you see your way. . .

Excellent writing my friend. . .

Tracy66,
I can hear you in this poem that you have written, I can listen, as you speak. Thank you for sharing.

Your words take me back in time.  Depression can be a good thing...sometimes...for a little while.  As long as you've still got control over that blanket!

"When the walls close in around you,
When all those about you doubt you,
When the world can live without you,
Get a grip get a grip and keep it."

Wow..I'm sorry, so glad you cannot see my tears. God I really must be depressed as all your beautiful and loving comments made me cry and I thank all of you for your uplifting words.
I hate when I get like this but it will pass.
Thanks Marge~ Serenity~ Sven~ Bill~ Tony~
