I don't know why I feel this way
My mind; it twists apart
I know I should be happy
But a darkness grips my heart

It's claws are cold like ice
And it just won't leave me be
I struggle to see why this monster
Chooses to torture me

There's little light inside my head
That will help me fight it off
I have to hide myself from others
Until my pain subsides

How I wish that I was happy
I would trade anything I have
For despite all my good fortune
I still can't help but cry

There is one person who can help
To make my pain dissolve
She is the ray of sunshine
That breaks through the pouring rain

I'm afraid that in my sorrow
I might break her heart in two
So I write out my frustrations
And hope the cure will last

I want this pain, this fear, this sorrow
To leave and let me be
The demon will soon be banished
And I can finally be free

I wrote this a couple of years ago while I was fighting off depression. I think it was because I was graduating from high school, and instead of being happy, I got really nervous and scared. I still am, but I do a better job of controlling it now-a-days.

Anyway, I edited this one from the original poem. The original made me die a little too much inside.

For nothing have I been by your side
In vain have I wasted this life
All that was fair has been marred now
All the love I gave you has emptied my heart
Soon I'll be feeling no pain
Sleeping in silent shade

I wish I didn't understand this so well. This is amazingly tragically beautiful. Great work.
