Lifeless eyes Alone she cries Depression’s rise Inside she dies. Hearts pound Souls drown Never found Misery’s crown. Sleepless night Nightmares fright loss of might See no light Darkness comes Confusion numbs Lightning stuns Away she runs Hiding fear a single tear Desertion near The end is here Author's note: Depression hits thousands of people every year. It's effects are always different, but they do need help. If you or someone you know has depression or something similar to that, don't stand by and watch it happen. Help them in any way they need it or in any way that you can. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |

This is some great work cassers. I like how you used such short lines and yet expressed so much in them. Keith W. Mullin Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |

No dancing around the fact here. Depression is painful. You expressed it very well Cassers dear. Abra "So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key." -Already Gone, The Eagles |

I've known depression very well and I know that you have too my friend. This is extremely powerful and really well written. This style suits you well! *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

Unfortunately, I have battled depression and this is so well expressed and powerful. It was haunting to read. Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |
