DEPRESSION
Sonnet 1
The voices in my head are loud
Covering my thoughts like a cloud.
I can't listen to the voice
Deep within helping me to make my own choice.
I don't recognise the voices I hear
Whispering in my ear
Burying mine deep within.
In the loud crowd of confusion
It whispers in the background conclusion.
The soul wants what it wants
Or else it creates a black hole
That swallows me whole.
All emotions thrown into the abyss
Just a hole Echoing despair.
Sonnet 3
There is no sound
Louder than silence with no one around.
Talks turning into screams
It sure feels like a dream.
An elision to elude the mind
An organ that is just blind.
Though the colonisers are real
I wish you could feel
Just how loud they get
When no one is around yet
Silence echoes in my ear
The colonisers rejoice I hear
In silence, solitude they find
Even I seized to mind.
Sonnet 4
The hole in me just cried for its missing piece
Just when I thought my heart was finally at peace.
The pain just pealed over the blood clot of my scar
Blood pouring from a hollow pit afar
I felt emptiness beating my ribcage harder
My soul echoing pain, scarred.
This valley is crying for the love unknown
Calling for affection never shown.
The words mama just fall on the tip of my tongue
For the first time it means something
I never held on to it even when I was young
To me it never meant anything
Yet here I am wondering how it feels
To spit just this simple word: mama.
I kissed the angel of death
I looked into his calm eyes
He looked into my troubled soul
Seduced me with his crystal-clear eyeballs
I longed to see through them
I desired to make them my own
Like calm ocean waves
They breathed a soft breeze
Into my humbled souls
Calmed the storm
That was brewing inside
Not aware,
I was hooked
I reached for the pile of pill next to me
Like a slide show
I was now looking at
A beautiful sunset
Scattering leftover sunrays
I felt my body drift to oblivion
My troubled soul
Teleport into an alternate universe
I had committed the felony
Of kissing the angel of
