Poetry: Depression

Haunting

I try to sleep, but it's always the same
It'll never change, and I'm always to blame.

I lay in bed thinking of everything,
What's so wrong and will never fade.
I have the same nightmares every time,
All of these problems and how many I've made.

It's so useless to even try,
But no matter what I never cry.

The image of everything, the life I live.
Is nothing anymore, I have nothing to give.

Everything's wrong, I will never sleep.
And these bad feelings are haunting me.

It's so unreal, it's all the same.
Why do I try when I know it will never change?

It's so useless to even try,
But no matter what I never cry.

So take me away bring me back,
It still won't change the happiness I lack.

So why won't it go away, just make it better.
One more day.... Take it away.

I try to sleep but it's always the same.
It'll never change, and I'll always be to blame.

Everything's wrong so I will never sleep,
And these bad feelings are what's haunting me.

It's so useless to even try,
But no matter what I never cry.

I try to let it go, but I still can't sleep.
These bad feelings are still haunting me.
