Whispers of Desolation

A poem about my depression.

In the darkened recesses of my heart,
Where the shadows cling like cobwebs spun,
I bear the weight of a storm-leaden sky,
And the echoes of battles lost and won.

My veins, once rivers of crimson fire,
Now flow with the gray ink of sorrow’s hue,
Each heartbeat a mournful choir…
