Depression

Darkness is the absence of light
but we humans can be surrounded
by the brightest light
but be too blind
to open our eyes to it
thus living a life
of perpetual
darkness

im not sure about it being a complete poem, it feels more like the first part of something deeper. Maybe some hope in later lines? or maybe not...IT IS titled Depression. I think this is a possible kind of depression, but not one that I chose, but it is still relate-able. I hope you keep your head up if you are ever depressed because in my opinion, no matter the situation there is always hope, in this situation it could be someone to help the blind see.

I agree it dont feel completely done, I wrote this with a time in my life in mind I went through a deep depression as a child it was like I could not see past my pain like I had blinders on I could not see past the darkness that was engulfing me but somehow I pulled myself up out of the darkness and back into life

I like it. It's simple but it can be really deep if you think it pertains to you.
