Solitude

A Poem by Lotus94

Depressive thoughts consume our minds.

I feel like I've been set on fire
That my body was engulfed by flames
All that remains now are ashes
I want to rise up from them
I do
But I don't know how to
I have no strength
My body's weak
I lay quietly
In the middle of my bed
Thoughts consume me in my head
I wonder why I feel this way
This pain, it makes it hard to breathe
My body aches
I'm breaking at the seams
Heavy stones pressed on my chest
Crowded rooms an empty head
Get me out
Where is my shield?
I turn around, there's no one near
I want to cry
Where are the tears?
I walk alone
The end is near
