The days have gone dark
I no longer feel
That I have a heart
My head reels
_____________________________
My vision has disappeared
Things have gotten worse
This is what I feared
I am falling back
_____________________________
Back to where I was before
In this deep, dark hole
It is like I am keeping score
With the demons I keep inside
_____________________________
Inside my brain
That nobody understands
I try to stop the pain
With the cuts on my hands
_____________________________
My tears fall
It constantly rains
I used to have it all
Now I am nothing
_____________________________
Nobody cares
It's a dark world
Full of selfishness
If only someone cared
_____________________________
If someone cared
Maybe I would still have my hair
Maybe I would not be scarred
Maybe I would have a heart
_____________________________
I no longer feel emotion
Or have any devotion
To anyone in my life
They didn't care
_____________________________
My vision is back
I have made my decision
Once I let go
There's no turning back
_____________________________
Let Me Go
I will feel no pain
There will be no loss
There will be no gain
_____________________________
Nobody listened when I spoke
It was all an exaggeration
I wanted to die as soon as I woke
But I am just exaggerating
_____________________________
My exaggeration is my reality
The reality that nobody sees
But me
I am done living in my reality
_____________________________
I finally let go
Of the pain
Of the memories
Of the girl who was once happy
_____________________________
The day is black
The day is gloomy
Everyone finally understands now
But I am not coming back

I feel this poem so much. it's really powerful. I would say that at some points in the poem I didn't like how the stanzas would separate. There were a few things that didn't make since. Like in one line it went," With the cuts on my hands," and I felt like maybe you ment like arms instead of hands or maybe you meant hands I'm not 100 percent sure if that wasn't just a
mistype. Another thing is that the poem repeated they didn't care alot and I think if you took that repeated phrase out it would flow better. Other than that I loved the poem and especially the last line which was so powerful. Thanks for writing. I hope to be able to read and review more from you soon.
Thank you so much! And I did mean hands when I wrote it. If you think about it from the deeper perspective, a cut in your hand is much easier to explain. The repetition was intentionally and it was meant to disrupt the flow, to make those that are reading think. Thank you so much for your review!
I must say, this is one of the best poems I have ever read, ever. You portray the harsh reality of depression well in this poem. The way you formatted it and how you never have more than four rows in each section, it looks very clean and nice. Your grammar and punctuation is wonderful, there wasn't any punctuation so I can't say anything on that. This is one of the poems where it flows better without punctuation. Keep on writing and Merry (early) Christmas!
Thank you so much for your review!!
