This Empty Space

This is a poem about how I feel when I get depressed.

Why Am I sad,
why the tears,
My brain is all
jumbled with so
many fears
I feel so tortured
and full of pain,
Why am I here in
this place again.
A place so dark,
empty and cold
I feel so lonely
with no one to hold.
Confusion is running
through my head
From the moment I
rise until going
to bed.
My energy has departed
I feel weak and frail
I just want to sleep
on this torture trail.
The pain keeps flowing
through my head
No motivation so I stay
in bed.
If I just stay here one
more day
Maybe tomorrow will be
brighter than yesterday.
My confidence down my
esteem so low
My mind and body going
so slow.
I want to shout but no
one will hear
Why I'm so sad and full
of fear.
No one understands how
I feel
They can not mend this
jumbled up reel
They can not see it into
my brain
to dry these tears that
flow like rain.
Maybe one day these fears
will be gone
My brain won't be jumbled
my tears will dry
I won't feel so lonely and
won't have to cry.

This piece really conveys all your pain and emotion, and I can feel it dawn on me as I keep on reading. There are some lines that I had to reread because the wording was off. For example, in line 8, change 'is' to 'in', but that could have been simply a typing error. Brilliant poem!
