Darkened all around her
She couldn't see her hands
Panic started to rise
She tried to speak
A tightness in her vocal chords
Feeling detached,
Her body was no longer hers...
There was bleakness all around
It touched her whole being
Pushing her deeper
Into...
Darkness, a tunnel without light
Trying to crawl her way out
The darkness would not allow
All she wanted was to sleep forever... ...
So eloquently describes the horror of depression!!! Such a nightmare! Thanks for sharing this well-penned poem!
