This world leaves me with nothing
My mouth moves silently,
As I scream inwardly

Sick of being pushed around
By the perverse whims of the world
Drowning, trying to pull myself up
I fell cause of my own stupidity
I'm never closer to being free

Surrounded by demons cursing my name
There in my head can't chase them away
They hunt me and tear me down like a pack of wolves
And gloat over their beaten, bloodied prize

I'm losing control of myself
Every breath is an effort
There's a pool of blood in my hands
From my severed veins
I never meant it to be like this!

Hiding in a corner
Averting your steady gaze
I'm bloody and sore
My insecurities batter my weak defenses

I can't fight anymore
Can't place my depression
On any one source
I'm sick of stumbling
That's the only thing I know

Depression's Song

Contributed by bobotheclown on Monday, 8th September 2003 @ 11:45:00 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Bitter, angry, complacent
This world leaves me with nothing
My mouth moves silently,
As I scream inwardly

Sick of being pushed around
By the perverse whims of the world
Drowning, trying to pull myself up
I fell cause of my own stupidity
I'm never closer to being free

Surrounded by demons cursing my name
There in my head can't chase them away
They hunt me and tear me down like a pack of wolves
And gloat over their beaten, bloodied prize

I'm losing control of myself
Every breath is an effort
There's a pool of blood in my hands
From my severed veins
I never meant it to be like this!

Hiding in a corner
Averting your steady gaze
I'm bloody and sore
My insecurities batter my weak defenses

I can't fight anymore
Can't place my depression
On any one source
I'm sick of stumbling
That's the only thing I know

Well written and graphic. I can really
feel the pain that these words are
screaming out.Please don't give in to
this song.Really touched me.
Take care,

Joel, beautiful and tragic at the same time. Dont let the demons inside you take over your life. Very bittersweet.

Joel, this has such dark, yet beautiful imagery, and it felt as though i was being drawn into the poem itself.. I loved the second from last stanza best, but it was all great..

when you stumble,
may the clay dance,
to balance you.......words from "beannacht" a blessing, that was given me earlier this month...
hugs joel

Very well written.

"Surrounded by demons cursing my name
There in my head can't chase them away
They hunt me and tear me down like a pack of wolves
And gloat over their beaten, bloodied prize"

Great stanza. Great poem!
