My Personal Maelstrom

My Personal Maelstrom

A Poem by Mairead
"

The painful struggle with depression.

"
  

I open my eyes darkness surrounds,

No shining light,

No silver clouds,

  

Everywhere I turn I see abyss,

Nowhere to hide,

Just emptiness.

  

I'm screaming and searching around in my mind,

Looking for answers,

I might never find,

  

I want to escape from this painful agony,

I just want to live,

I want to be free,

 

This whirlpool is intent on pulling me in,

It's pulling me deeper,

It's sink or swim,

 

I don't know if I have the strength to fight,

I don't know if I can hold on,

For just one more night,

 

I'm just waiting for the rain to fall,

To wash away the darkness,

To wash away it all,

 

The struggle ends and I'm left feeling numb,

I know it isn't truly over,

But for now I've won.
