A Step Into Depression

by Sarah Ann   Apr 20, 2006


I feel so lonely, so depressed,
All the time I want to cry,
I cannot even smile
Or look one squarely in the eye

For the whole world is hypocrisy,
Deceit is the stairway to my life
And no, I never chose this road,
I just had to pay the price.

Once a girl so proud and strong
Now lingers amongst the weak,
In dearest terms I'd say it's me,
But I don't trust the words I speak.

I walk into the darkness,
and quiver through the light
It's hard for me to understand;
To distinguish wrong from right.

And I do not see the problem,
Perfection has now become my curse,
Most epidemics have no cure
And mine is standing at it's worst.

    I could defintely feel the raw pain as I read this. You got your message and emotions across to the reader which is by far marvelous. You're work had a nice simple flow.

    It is great when the audience can relate because that is when you actually get the good critics. When they cannot only feel your pain, but their own. This was a great portrayl of stepping into Depression... a transmission between Innocence and Saddness... this has to be one of my favorites I've read so far.

    Great Job. Keep writing.
