Darkness abides


Darkness abides

In a depressed mind.

There is no light

The mind is confined.

 

Darkness abides

As she loses herself.

Lost in the dark

Filled with thoughts of death.

 

She cannot go on

Any further now.

Even if she could

She doesn't know how.

 

Depression took over

She's lost in her mind.

She feels no love

That she can find.

 

She hates it so much

She cannot stand life.

She wants to die

Depression is her strife.
