The Abyss - medium poem
This is one of the few vent poems I've written. This one in particular has a bit of a story behind it. I've had issues with bipolar depression. So while I was at work one night at my old job I had a big depression swing. It was a busy night on top of it, so while I was on break I wrote this to vent. I feel like it's an accurate description of what my depression is like. I wrote this poem back in 2015.
Written by me, Fane Star.
The darkness.
It surrounds me with its misery.
Aching, crying, depleted.
It fills my heart with suffering.
A pain so deep I'm drowning.
No escape. No cure.
Trapped forever in the dark.
Alone, longing, afraid.
I cannot see.
I cannot feel.
It's total utter emptiness.
Giving up I slip down, into the abyss I now call home.
Hopeless, helpless, faithless.
Nothing can pry this icy grip away.
Not until my death.
The cold, lonely death that I now crave.
That bittersweet moment I drift from my body.
Painless, free, hopeful.
But for now I wait.
I must wade through the waters of the day.
One day, one dream, I will be freed from the darkness.
The darkness.
That surrounds me with its misery.
