A bit of prose describing the daily battle of depression that once consumed me.
Hurt and pain; pain and sorrow.
What will life be like tomorrow?
Will I laugh or will I cry?
Will I live or will I die?

Seems to me that no one cares
About my feelings of despair.
Anger and hatred fill my soul within;
How do I escape? Is death my new friend?

Black as night and cold as ice,
Some say that the other side isn't so nice.
But sometimes I wonder what it would be like
If I didn't wake up from my sleep at night.

Open up the gates and let me in
To escape from everything that is within
Show me the path that I can take.
Oh God please-please give me a break.

Hurt and pain; pain and sorrow.
Will life be any better on tomorrow?
I don't know-I cannot tell.
If not, my inside will continue to swell.

Hurting immensely in my own feelings of pain.
Life seems as though it's a never-winning game.
I want to quit but I don't want to lose.
I'm so damned confused about which to choose.

For now I'll stay and try to be content,
But when life throws a curve, death makes a hint.
Hurt and pain; pain and sorrow.
Another day has passed; I'm waiting for tomorrow.
