Poetry: Mindless depression

Blackness surrounds me

and fills my being.

Blackness fills me

and scorches my soul.

I am intoxicated

and I can't get enough.

I am in control

and I know I am.


Days are a blur to me,

Is it tomorrow already?

This is my haven,

It will protect me.

And yet, and yet

Tomorrow seems so far away

I am reaching for something long gone.

Or is it just me?


They are all talking now,

Telling me to be cheery.

I tell them I am fine,

I can tell they don't believe me.

They all surround me,

Telling me it's okay.

Okay to cry, okay to sob.

I want my blackness back.


I realize soon,

that I am not myself.

I have changed,

as they all say.

I have lost my control

and done what the weak do.

I sink onto the floor,

Darkness has finally penetrated me.

    When the drugs wear off, a light-bulb flutters above
    the puddles, the people.
    The streetlamp at the end of Pasteboard Street

    by Sarah Terzo

    Sometimes I can only wonder
    is it adversity that kills us
    or this mindless, soul-numbing apathy?
    Not the rushing tidal wave

    Heart of Darkness


    Here,
    In the blackest depths of nowhere,
    Where nothing meets naught,
    I have come to sit a while
    To study silence.
