Hello. I am a mother of one...who is about to graduate from high school. That said, I think I will have a lot of time on my hands.

I have always enjoyed writing and found it has provided me with high praises in my most expressive form. It has long been my goal in life to become a "published" writer. I came across this website and thought that this may be the avenue I've long awaited. I am excited with the opportunity that Helium will provide and nervous as I anticipate rating from my peers.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Depression

104 of 704

In the midst of my depression

The staircase spirals deeper down
Into the darkness all that's found
Is grief and sorrow and despair
All the burdens I cannot share

I see the window in my mind
Through it brightly sunlight shines
The curtains blowing in the wind
Memories stirring of where I've been

The window always out of reach
I feel my sanity start to breach
Memories stirring in the mist
How did I ever get to this?

I see myself in my mind's eye
Feel so numb, can't even cry
The time goes by, slowly creeping
My only peace is when I'm sleeping.
