So sad, so very sad
Low mood takes me over so completely
The bottom of the well is so empty
and dark, always dark.
So tired, so very tired
Of trying to be brave
Trying to smile, trying to hope.
It's peaceful down here
Really peaceful but alone
Not lonely, just alone.
Darkness envelopes me, soft darkness
Keeps me quiet, ssshhhh
Life hasn't turned out
quite like I thought it would.
This is my place for now.
Hiding in the well
In the dark.
Alone.
Wow !! That is so powerful and moving. I could feel the darkness, the quiet .
Hugs
