Depression

In the calmest of nights, I prayed for peace,
The peaceful silence became a scream,
The blissful solitude became the worst of foes,
The ever normal heart, beaten with insanity.

They saw my wings, but didn't see the chains,
I fought to break; I got torn instead,
We all face it, they said in chorus,
Having never suffered a void in their hearts,

The nights filled with sleepless worries,
My past demons dancing in my dreams,
Selling your soul to get some sleep,
You wake up empty, with disregard and apathy,

A prisoner in your mind, you see the world real,
Drowning in your sorrow, you cry for help,
I don't want my grief to overflow to others,
Said my heart in pain, as I sunk slowly into a grave.
