I Feel....

by Amy   Jan 27, 2012


I feel like a prisoner inside my own head, who is screaming to be heard and set free.

I feel, just as the seasons change, and fall turns to winter, each day is being filled with more darkness than light.

I feel like I am not living anymore. I am going through each day, barely completing what is expected of me. A thick fog is surrounding me, suffocating me, as I feel an overwhelming heaviness lay over my chest and I struggle to breathe.

I feel empty, alone, afraid. I am slowly drowning on the darkness of this univiting existance.

I feel desperation. Desperation to feel what I did not so long ago. To feel something that most take for granted. I want to feel happy and at ease in my surroundings and with the people I love so truly once more.

I want to be set free again! Free from this captive, who has me cornered and has been breaking me down, little by little. Attempting to destroy the last few emotions I can still feel lingering in the darkness deep within me, as I am struggling to hold on to them.

I can feel my mind and body growing tired and losing stregnth, but I WILL NOT give up!

I will fight until I am at peace again.

    This whole poem, I was so worried and I had everything to say but then those last lines toward the end JUST HIT you, you know!!! It's really something that you're struggling with such deep depression but that you're still not giving up! And you SHOULDN'T!!! Because, once you hit rock bottom, the only way left to go, is to bounce back up!! And you will. Time will help you, girl! I'm glad you've got your mind on the right track!! Keep strong, Hon!!
