Searching for peace
When depression meets a dreary night and anxiety stalks your soul,
It's tough to find the light
That helps you take control
It's easy to turn to drink or drugs
To escape this aching grasp,
To consume denial,
And pray it will last
But when the dawn breaks
and time beckons once more, Depression begins to knock,
Knock loudly upon your door
The world becomes a scary place,
An insecure cell, a Catherine wheel that spins and spins, Taking you down to hell
This level of thought leaves scars
like a deeply disturbing crime
But I won't let it consume me
That's why I write these rhymes
To share with you my pain
Because I know
I'm not the only one,
I know that dark clouds gather
But Right Now,
They are blocking out my sun.

Awesome!!! It's great when the dark clouds of depression gather as you say so brilliantly , you don't let them block out the sun for you ought to cheer at the marvel of your poetry on a topic that many can relate to. You expressed it fabulously for which you deserve kudos!
pls pleez do review/ comment my newest poem too, it's nice to hear from fellow poets for exchange of thoughts, or else it feels like a monologue.
