Darkened Heart

A Bipolar Lament Of Depression

When depression sets in there no greater low,
When my feelings dwell deep
Myself guts tell me NO!

I can't help but think if I'm going to rise,
As I sit and feel myself spiral down deeper
Yet i can't seem to believe in that lie.

So if I crawl up from this sunken hole,
Possibly catching a glimpse of hope
Perhaps the sky shall brighten my soul.

You are direct here, saying it how it is; when you feel trapped in a dark well of depression. I know someone else here, who also suffers badly from bipolar episodes of depression. Despite telling yourself, that you can climb upwards and outwards from it; part of you has become too cynical to believe it anymore? Even the sky, couldn't brighten your soul with light. Indeed, in the last line; no question mark is included at the end. That's possibly indicative, that you don't really expect an answer of brightness from "the sky"; when you're going through such a dark period. You are probably quite brave, opening up on here about how it makes you feel. Feel free to send me "read requests" too, Stacy.
