A Single Night
{{I get asked often, as these things tend to get worse at night, how it feels to lie in bed and try to sleep when you are struggling with Depression; this is as close as I can relate the feeling in the words that I have available to me.}}
Tossing and turning in bed
Whilst dark thoughts crawl in my head
Finding it impossible to fall asleep
As the madness begins to creep
Like a serpent slithering
All the while I am withering
You cannot run from your own mind
It has you, always, in its infernal bind
When you realize that there is no escape
And the thoughts begin to reshape
The darkness consumes you
And the tears are sure to ensue
So mind-rendingly alone
That it chills you to the bone
By the time the tears have dropped
And your heart has stopped
You are left feeling nothing, numb
The emptiness pounding, like a drum
Inside your own mind
You are completely blind
Stumbling in the pitch-black dark
Thoughts circling your mind like a shark
Tossing and turning in bed
Whilst dark thoughts crawl in my head.
