Black And Blue | Charles Gallardo

Fear, pain, darkness all over me
The words my mind painted to describe my anxiety,
But no one I could speak of its entirety,
As I cry inside... my mind is telling me that I've lost my sanity.

I laugh as hard as they do
But Inside I only see black and blue
My sanity is waiving goodbye as I go
Leaving my body to the world I don't know

Oh Lord enlighten me
I need a hand to pull me up
I don't wanna die and I can't just give it all up
I'm carrying lives on my shoulders
They will die if I fall over

Strenghthen my knees so I can stand
All the weights I have on my shoulder and hands
Clear my mind from all anxiety
So that I can think cautiously to defeat myself...my number one enemy.

Poet's note: I wrote this while depression is attacking me. I feel hopeless, frustrated and depressed to something I don't know. Writing poems is one of my outlets to fight it.
