| These are poems written by people who suffer from depression. Personally I feel that these are pretty accurate portraits drawn out through the use of language, thus allowing you to see the true face of depression. |

| Whispers of Sadness |
| Alone D. Warren I wonder if you would understand if I told you I was hiding within myself private and safe. I wonder if you would understand how much the noise that's everywhere penetrates too deeply causing me pain. I wonder if you would understand that my silence is not towards you but bars that surround me leaving me mute without words locked in without a key. I wonder if you could understand the darkness, blacker than night blacker than death that I contain inside me mutely privately, I wonder |

| Welcome to the Darkness B. J. Craig To be trapped in a prison built by your mind. To exist in a world not penetrated by light. To never have known life of any other kind. To feel a hurt too deep for words. Welcome to the darkness. Alone trying to find your way. No posts, no paths, no signs to guide. A world built to destroy tomorrow and today. To survive the doom and rise above the loss. Oh to light a candle and call it love. Let the heart be strong and push back the gloom. The dazzling light, I know it would defeat the darkness and set me free. |
