Monsters Within Poem by Hulk Smash

Monsters Within



The emptiness is overflowing,
Devouring me bit by bit.

The darkness trickles down,
Swallowing up everything in its path;
My heart, my soul, my mind.

The light that once illuminated my world has burnt out,
Leaving behind an endless sea of black.

The sadness creeps up,
Wrapping itself around my body until I'm paralyzed;
Emotionally, physically.
Doomed to my bed for all eternity.

The depression seeps in,
Taking over my every thought,
My every move.
And it grows.
It's constantly growing every second of every minute of every day.

My constant state of mind is a sinking ship way past saving.

youve written a dark, but candid poem that evokes great sadness. the verbs and descriptions are accurate. most would write about depression with lots of ambiguity but this avoids that. that takes strenth.
