Darkness a poem about depression

Darkness

The darkness comes
It's here to stay
Tired of fighting
To keep it at bay

The meds aren't working
Or not enough
When everything hurts
It's hard to be tough

In sleep there is comfort
At least for a while
But waking is hell
There is no denial

Like Sisyphus' boulder
The burden never ending
Deeper I spiral
I can't keep descending

After the darkness
There should be some light
I can not find any
It's perpetual night

You are very talented. You say things that I think most people are thinking but do not know how to put it into words.

That was beautiful. You write with the strength of a musician who has written song lyrics for a lifetime. You express yourself with rhythm about a topic I understand. You described depression perfectly. It is that boulder you keep trying to move up a mountain. Thank you for sharing. I'm a girl who loves both of your heads xxx big kissxxx lynn
