Depression descends like a curtain
Dark and silent as a cloaked plague
It sucks joy, life, and laughter
Leaving behind a void and eternal nothingness

It is a spectral form that is internally tightly
Coupled to my cold prison with laughter
Darkness spirals in silence
This hidden knowledge and an obstacle to sustainability

Another night of torture, another endless wall
Of hollow feelings, darkness that stops
It is a vast field of nothing that never fades away
But morning brings sunlight and more shadows

Tomorrow the sun will shine again
The curtain of depression lifts, the truth is missing
But in moments of darkness, its mantle burns
And painful memories of joy leave forever
