Poem about Sadness

This is about being abused as a child and playing in a graveyard as a child, it was always so peacefull.

Depression

© Darren Harris
Depression is running through my head,
These thoughts make me think of death,
A darkness which blanks my mind,
A walk through the graveyard, what can I find?
Black shadows walk in between the graves,
How many lives have not been saved?
Six feet under if not more,
How I’d like to go down and explore,
The feeling of lying in a box,
I can’t get out, is it locked?
Is it day or is it night?
Are birds singing or have bats taken to flight?
I know one day this is where I’ll go,
Am I afraid? I don’t think so!
Will I be able to explore the feeling of death?
After I’ve taken my last breath?
Or will I be a shadow in between the graves?
Will I know how many lives have not been saved?
After this life is there another one?
With a different moon and a different sun,
I won’t go to hell as I’m already there,
A place full of sadness, a place full of despair,
So there’s nothing to live for, no future no past,
So I might as well end it, end this life at last.

  • Back in November 7,1997, I lost my six week old baby girl, Joy, due to her daddy beating her to death! I was so traumatized, I wanted to die too! But...God would not let me! I was left for dead, when my ex boyfriend walked out, after he took my baby girl away from me! When I recovered in the hospital, I screamed for my daughter, but only to be told that Joy was dead! She was so innocent and tiny! Joy knew of no faults or sins! God had taken Joy to a more peaceful place up in the clouds, where I wanted to be with her!
