Depression

[Unregistered]

I don't know how much longer I can go on with this
depression
eating me away
Every day is an obstacle
An obstacle
to what finish?

Every time that I think
I am happy
that damn shadow
my unexplained sadness
comes back

there is no way to be rid of it
No escape.
No trap door
that will magically whisk me away
to a land of all things bright and happy.

What is the purpose
in this world for someone so
enveloped in their own dark
pitiful thoughts?

I don't know how much longer
I can go on when depression
is swallowing me whole.
