This is for all those who walk among the shadows of depression.

I’m A Shadow Of Myself

Caught among the landslide of pure emotion
Was I caught among the endless ocean?
The world seemed to close in behind me
And the fear echoed deep within me

One moment I was perfectly fine
Then my heart turned like a chime
Thou hath seen the sensitive
And how I’m lost within my own insecurity

I sense the light within has turned so gray
And I sense my heart has turned to clay
For like the sense of falling rain
My heart is filled with the darkest pain

As I’m a shadow of myself
Wish I could be someone else
The grass seems greener of the other side
And I’m not walking towards suicide

As I have seen, that I’m proud of myself
Because I opened up to my depression and talked to someone else
Still there’s fear like the tears depart, even when it breaks my heart
The tunnel seems to be so dark, and there are tears, which I depart

Anyone, and I include myself in this category, who had ever know the pain and sadness of prolonged depression will so readily relate to this one Darryn. Great job of expressing yourself and so many others...
