A Lonely Place

A poem that speaks upon the unbridled reality of when ones depressed state of being surfaces

I've spent the last few years clearly seeing 

The faults that have corrupted my every being 

And even though I've tried to hide 

My sadness still lingers deep inside

I've tried to convince myself that loneliness was simply a phase

That would be replaced with happiness for the rest of my days 

But It's clear to me now that I'm a mistake

And It shatters my soul every time that I wake

I'm finally starting to admit that I have been defeated 

From all of this worlds unfortunate mistreatment 

And even though a heaven may await

I'd rather fall now and leave the rest to fate

So I will sit here one last time in a lonely place 

Angry at the smiles that I've tried to chase

Confined to a world no longer that I've laid to cry

Where I'm more afraid to live than I am to die
