Depression

So dark and deep burn these depths, no light penetrates. My languished soul  begs release from existence. No love heals nor beliefs save from self hatred. Dark stained thoughts that engulf my presence. No one sees through my eyes what cannot be explained. Why my head fills  with black shrouds of finality? Questions eternal and beyond leave my soul drained, an empty heart  filled  with unbearable futility. I know there is love beyond the barrier I cannot break, But the chains of mental distortion pull me beyond life or care. No words intrude or make my jet flavored mood shake, My descent spiraling downward ever downwards towards despair This is my curse, my evil, my enigma of impenetrable mists. Companions taste my mind understanding the shadows of obsession. Slowly sinking Silently towards the black emptiness of abyss, My stagnant soul entombed by the implosion of depression.
