Saddened

Ruth Henry 2004 (Ogidi)



SADDENED

When I was at my lowest
Painted in the picture of pain and grief Wanting to be free from this shackles
 I cried, I yelled, But none is there to console me
 I'm so broken that I thought that I have fallen
 Tears is like a flowing river
My heart is in an excruciating pain
 Looking for someone to deliver me
A girl with a soft and kind heart
I have been broken into shreds and pieces No one!! Absolutely No one to the rescue Have been turned to a heartless being
Which I have never dreamt or imagine of being
I feel the sharpness of a knife piercing into my heart
 Sadness have pervaded the core of my energy
I feel like dying but I want to keep going Because I refused to worship depression Refused to bask in the present and forget the future
 Have surrounded myself with walls
 Which only me can smash!
 I will surely survive
Because I already believe that;
 As long as the pain wouldn't take me to the grave
 There will surely be a light at the end of the tunnel
 Which will make me stand tall and brave Never letting myself grumble nor stumble This is a phase and it will surely pass

    This poem reminds me of some of my own. The only thing I don't normally do is come to a positive resolve by the end. I just cannot seem to bring myself to do so. My poetry is my outlet for hurt and depression. A positive resolve, like yours, seems to be too far out of reach for me. But through the magic of poetry, maybe I will reach a positive resolve one day.
