Opening the blinds.

Opening the blinds.

A Poem by Aly
"

Some days facing depression seems unbearable.

"
Here I stand.
A broken soul.
No one to raise or call my own.
No heart to love or open to
any human old or new.

Here i sit, 
A mind of clutter.
with feelings closed,
a broken shutter.
No light shall enter,
no hope seems near,

today could be the last, i fear.

Wow..this could've gone on longer and still hold its brilliance, so much to work with.
Depression is life-sucking and brutal to bear...writes like this, and the feedback therein, can definitely help!

Thanks so much for sharing this

The title was good , the usage of color to highlight certain words was good and the ending was good. The whole was great...:)

So moving, Aly. Depression is lethal but I hope you survive in this struggle.
Writing is therapy. Keep writing.
Nice job here.
