Do You Think I'm Ok?

Poem about mental health

Weary heart, burdened by black
A soul consumed, no turning back
I'm not okay, suffering within
Pain, a relentless and unyielding sin

Images haunt in endless seems
Torn memories, shattered dreams
I never meant to bring you down
But I'm falling apart, unraveling to the ground

Disapproving scowls, whispers of ill
Trying to reach out, but no one will
Hope exists, but a mere flicker in sight
My spirit shattered, unable to take the final flight

Words I know, yet their meaning eludes
Trapped in a world where nothing exudes
Need for help, but no one to lend a hand
Silent emptiness, alone in darkness, nothing to withstand

I'm not okay, I'm lost in the abyss
Pain too deep, too inexorable to dismiss
Aching soul, devoid of light
Forlorn and shattered, a never-ending night.
