Tears Weep within my Soul

My mind adrift, yet not wandering free

Vague memories, dark thoughts, utter despair

Unwanted images come rushing in

As tears weep within my soul

My mind adrift in a wave of doom

Fettered like the tides to the moon

As much as I try to put barriers in place

They come tumbling down in haste

My purpose, my being, the reason I’m here

Has left me forever, that’s what I fear

Discombobulated is my mind’s state

From moods of helplessness to feeling irate

The darkness enshrouds me like a sea roke

As my chest tightens and I begin to choke

Inside my head is like an empty shell

Indwelled with demons straight from hell

Marking time like a mouse on a wheel

Each day that passes is the same as the last

The world I live in is as dull as it’s grey

Having nothing to do, hence nothing to say

None of my friends call on me anymore

They petered out like a withering flame

The only person who knocks on the door

Is the postman to ask me to sign my name

I’ve tried the medication and the CBT

Yet nothing appears to agree with me

So I slowly drift through a life not my own

As I suffer in silence, completely alone
