"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."


Through a gray endless slumber of distilled dismay,
A woman was seen in the maroon eve of twilight’s dawn each day.

 

A hopeful light was crucified in the night,
For night was eternal for she.

 

The sun never did shine nor the trees,
No twinkle of purified dwelling seemed to be.

 

Undefined as beams of despair zoom through the air,
Light was extinct and no one grasped to dare,

 

Dare at all to reverse the destructive consumption which devoured their worth.

 

Dawdling pride and will to move,
A heart wrenched class of which became deserted with gloom.

 

As a wound pierces the skin leaving a trophy for all to see,
This state was magnificent in its own cup of tea.

 

No gem or crystal could yet to comprehend,
The agonizing cries with shrieks of sorrow and pain which only descend.

 

This place was as a fire to the flame,
Tis too much to ever understand,

 

For it was her state of mind.


The author's comments:

I struggle with depression which always seems as if it's consuming my life and there is no way to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope this inspires you to focus on the good in your life, whatever that may be. Know that you can chose what to focus on. As in this poem, a girl only focused on the bad, which caused her to live how she viewed the world..In A pessimistic way.
