Darkness.

It rips me to shreds

-----

Depression it swallows me whole

leaving me alone

leaving me broken

and Crazy.

-----

There is no one around

No one left to save me.

Letting me cry

letting Me hide

----

so, I will remain

Broken.

the darkness is my

only friend.....

----

Hating my life

This poem is useless

----

fuck this life!!!
I think about ending it most of the time...

I know what your going threw because I am going threw it as well. I fee like no one is there to help me or back me up because even if they try they wont understand what I feel and can't get to me because of that. This poem I'm sure can really reach out to a lot of people as it did me. Depression makes you feel like a big nothing and makes you not want to try. A lot of optimistic people will say to push threw it but I think it just has to run its shity course till if ever someday we feel better. Depression makes us feel left out and broken and this poem shows the definition, black and white, true feeling.

I completely relate with the depression, feeling like you have no one, but also not wanting anyone at the same time. I feel like the ending was a bit abrupt, and maybe change the wording because it doesn't really flow. I really like how you displayed your frustration though, saying "This poem is useless". I felt like that line really shows that when you're depressed, you don't want to do anything. Even the things you love feel dismal. I hope things get better for you fr keep writing.

Hi there "B"

It's a nice work with well placement of word, though it's short in format but with an intense meaning.

The second stanza clearly gives the meaning of this poem and it's nice which i like the most in this poem. apart from it some part of this poem is distracting me even though I understood your depression metaphor.

In the last two stanzas, I will say the choice of word are little bitter and which totally demolishing your effort.

I'll suggest if you can replace those lines with some other weighty words or lines, will help you to pull out the readers.

It was my opinion as a reader. Nice to read your poem, Keep writing more

chinku.

thank you
