Prompt 219: Depression

Harshad Mehta of Space Within brings us this week's prompt, depression. Here is his thought-provoking poem:

Nothing inspire

Day is harsh

Colors of sunset gloomy

Thought of dark night scary

Miserable is my spirit

Prayers selfish

Smiles heavy

My utterances are complains

Compliments hollow

Even blessings demanding

Heart far away to be loved

And too selfish to love

Though surrounded by many

Lost in world another

Awareness that

You are always there

Lost in this black hole,

No light on other end

Faith shaky, Truth hazy

Denial deep, Options ill

Life a burden

Is death freedom?
