I've no hope for tomorrow Only depressive sorrow, I've sank lowest within Depression's well again. I try to rise from the pit But cannot escape it, It pulls me from the brink, Ever deeper I sink. My dark world will evolve Into puzzles I can't solve, I won't attempt this time To understand my mind. Colors of black is my days Nights painted that way, Dark is my mood of mind, Life is wholly unkind. Brooding I blankly stare, Emptiness everywhere, Nothing or no one's there, I no longer care. I drift in twisted fantasies There are no realities, Hated time slowly moves, No thought that soothes. I don't like you or me That's how it must be, For now I've no control, You cannot console. Despair shrouds with black, Vainly I try clawing back, The abyss is too wide, I fall helpless inside. For days I'll disappear Then reappear here, For awhile I'll be gone. Please, just leave me alone.
