Abyss

• Artist: Schizophrenic Angel
• Description: No, it's not just the typical emo poem, I'm not even emo. It's more of how someone feels when they're going through the feelings of depression -- depression hurts, a lot. And it feels like you dig a hole you can't get out of, hence the 'abyss'. Maybe some of you will appreciate it, but if you don't, that's alright =3. I just noticed a typo! it's supposed to be 'I'm spiraling' not 'I spiraling' xD

Near tears, but far from release,
Broken pieces of this heart is seems.
The courage to die and the courage to live,
Stupid dreamers, their hope they still give.

It doesn't seem worth it, it doesn't seem right,
It belongs to me, so why can't I end my life?
I feel so hollow, I feel so fooled;
Just use me again, just like you do.

I spiraling downward and hitting mach speed,
I'm racing forward to where I should be.
So fervently taken as I hit the ground,
Eyes still fluttering, but not making a sound.
I've hit rock bottom, and it's there I'll stay,
I'll wake up tomorrow and begin the day.
I'll wait for the voices to attack me at night,
Stealing my passion; I'm losing the fight.

I've fallen so beautifully into the abyss,
If I don't wake up tomorrow...
I won't ask to be missed.

i like it very much. it gives depth and emotion to a rollar coaster of so many things going on at once. In the first few lines I felt how some people could feel but not explain. And i like how you ended it. (sorry if my spelling is horrible or grammer is crappy. very tired, but can't sleep.)

I take it you didn't read my comment? >.o. Yes, I am someone who is depressed, and have felt these things, but this was written kind of as an explanation of what people feel when they go through this. It is an expression of thought, all poetry is.

I know how you feel. It's a vicious circle. Something happens and you get sad, and you get worse and worse then realize that you have been wasting time in your sadness. So you get more sad because you wasted your time. I don't want to rate this, because I enjoyed reading it as expression of thought, like a journal, rather than poetry, though it was very poetic.
