(The Cosmos)

poet (De Va)
What do you think this poem is about?

Depression

You steal my soul and hide it in the deep
You take my heart away to turn me into a sheep
You come in the night and rape my mind
You peel my imagination like a rind

Depression consumes my soul and empties me of essence
Depression takes the fire of my passion leaving senescence
Depression sets me in a prison in the deep dark dank
Depression fills me with tears because of his prank

Monster deep in the darkness on a starless night
Monster flying e'er so low on a maiden flight
Monster claws upon my limpid body as I try to escape
Monster in my soul, to me it such hideous rape

    I agree with everyone else, depression is like a drug keeping you in the dark, never letting go. Until finally someone showing you the light! Great poem filled with so much emotion!

    Depression like a dark cloud engulfs the soul in what seems to be a never ending darkness... Excellent poem...

    A truly fantastic poem. Beating the demons is
    hard but it can be done. Its something you
    just have to keep fighting against. A great write.
    May i invite you to read my new poem called,
    For Paul Blackburn. Its a true story.
