The Abyss
Depression draped in slumbers cloak
Sunlight lost along with hope
Eyes pressed tight, mind dark as night
A pain unknown when not in sight
To not be seen, to not be heard
As silence brings no caring word
In solitude, alone inside
Where anguish grows and struggles hide
A loneliness you will not share
Your burden kept from those who care
