The Nightmare That Never EndsA Poem by Rachel Diana MoteThis is a poem of what its like to live with depressionLet
the raven speak through his beady eyes. The
“Caw” just another song we all know different. He
casts a shadow for you to hide in… A
scratch in the glass or just another imperfection in your reflection. Don’t
let them see. Master
your masks. Put on that beautiful smile If
only they knew. Roll
down your sleeves. Don't let them see how you've coped.
It’s
the sword of Damocles over your head. It’s
the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s
lurking around every corner you turn. There
is no escape from yourself. Don't bother running from the monsters that once were under your bed. They'll forever be with you for they are now in your head. Learn
how they move, practice it in the mirror. Can
you see it? You're not who you once were. So
keep your hopes up high, and your head down low. © 2013 Rachel Diana Mote |
