Poetry: Despondency

by Tracey Lloyd

Created on: October 30, 2008

I long to set you free

But at the moment you're the only part of me




The only part that feels

My heart's continual ordeals




I face a black hole, full of despair

If I fell in, would anyone care




I turn now and face the sun

And feel my skin glisten




I feel reborn and full of fire

I deserve a heart full of desire




I resolve now to despair no more

And to create a life that I will adore




There is a life out there for me

Even though my melancholy would disagree




I will return, you won't win

I'll throw depression in the bin




I am strong, I am ME

I am on a journey of recovery
