Nothing

I am down in the depths of my mind, and I am broken. I regret all the things that I've done, and that I've spoken. I am in distress, on the outside in normal dress, no mess. But inside it's a different story. I am gone, not physically, but I am gone. I am displaced, I am here, but I'm not in the race. My minds erased, all the happy things, and I'm sitting here watching the fates tear away at my last few strings. I don't know why this is happening to me, I don't know why I cannot see. What is my problem, what am I doing, I'm thinking and thinking, but what am I doing? Where am I going, my mentality is slowing, I'm as frozen as a statue but yet my body keeps on moving. What am I, who am I? Am I even real? Is this even real? Do you know what I'm saying? Or am I just straying? Should I even keep on praying? Because I see no hope, not an ounce, not a glimpse. There's nothing. I'm nothing.

Fantastic. I really enjoyed reading this, it kind of relates to the situation I'm in so it hit really close to home. You were able to connect with your audience easily and not everyone can do that. I'm glad we're friends on here and I can't rate to read some more of your work. -Dove

I am down in depths of mind
And I am broken
In regret of all things I've done
Of which I have spoken

Just to give you an example of how much more powerful your words can be. Also often we use "The" unnecessarily, see how when removed from before depths it can make a bigger impact? Keep writing my friend. Believe when I saw poetry is the best therapy. Do some research because sometimes the word "which is needed instead of "That". See how different it sound son fourth line.

I enjoyed reading this. I think we've all been in those dark places at one time or another but we survive and move past them so long as we don't give up. The only losers are the ones who quit...as long as we keep trying we are still in the game. Never quit and never surrender and you'll never be a loser, no matter what life throws at you. I know this is true because I'm a survivor. We are all special and you are special, unique and one of a kind...you are an undiscovered diamond laying in the dirt. Now get up, go dust yourself off and SHINE!

You are pressed down 100 fold with sorrow, angst, misery, hurting, soul injured by life, and asking what is the use......so much of NOTHING!
I hope it is just a poem, and not actually how you feel!! If you do, please just take one breath at a time and allow yourself to heal!!
