This is a work that I keep close to my heart. It reminds me of a time when things seemed so much worse that they really were. When I am feeling like I cannot go on, I look back at this poem and know that I have overcome greater things in my life than I am currently dealing with.

I am a wreck.
life is in shambles,
can not eat,
no sleep.
racked by torturous thoughts.
numb emotions,
tears are frozen.
no soul.
life died,
faded, vanished.
hopes, desires swallowed
by the dark abyss, my heart,
depression embodied,
know to be,
my life.

    though sad but clearly conveys the feeling of one that is totally devastated by some cruel circumstances. i like this one.

    Thank you for your comment. I keep this one so close to my heart because of the circumstances under which I wrote it. In that time, I grew leaps and bounds as an individual because of the things I dealt with.
