Depression

The terrible silence, my greatest fear
remains unbroken as yet by any
continues to grow inside my ears
filling my whole body.

Bound up my hands, bound up my heart
locked my mind, blinded my eyes
leaving me speechless, cold and dark,
taken my strength, forced me down to my knees.

The beautiful no longer can bring pleasure to my eye,
sound and feeling now are not what I once felt inside.
Instead this intense emptiness
has now replaced my thought and sense

and I cannot break through.
Oh God, what shall I do?.
