There are times
Where you just
Have to surrender
And give up.
But what if you
Have to surrender everyday?
What if the suffering never ends?
And your bones are tired
And ache from the within.
What about the times
Your mind drowns in
Agony,
And the whole body breaks down
Into inferno.

Being stuck in a shambles
Is not easy.
My mind is perplexed,
I cannot think straight.
Words have failed me,
The betrayal is too real .
The times where
You feel caged and unable
To express yourself are the
Worst.
The whole mind goes
Void.
Sunlight stops coming in,
Body cracks and shivers.
Shocks go through like
Waves,
Emotions, pain,
Anger taking over you
Like a host.
Anger making you
Want to cause chaos.
Music drowning your body
In protectiveness.
Your senses giving up
And your mind racking
Here and there.

The aching continues,
Bones hurt.
Body gives up;
Mind goes void.
Unable to think straight
And the cycle of darkness steps in.

This poem is on depression
