When the Darkness Comes

This really a cheating post as its been posted on my old blog before. However I am poorly with a virus and a need a post for this months Mental Health Carnival.

This is a poem I wrote about how depression feels for me.

When the Darkness comes I can't breath,

My head pounds and my moth goes dry.

When the Darkness comes I just want to hide,

Loneliness is my friend.

When the Darkness comes  I cry and cry,

I don't always know why.

When the Darkness comes I am scared,

Panic rises inside me.

When the Darkness comes I am paralysed,

I wish I could run away.

When the Darkness is gone I am free,

Until the next time it appears.
