Dark night of the soul..
My mind can only interpret things based on the past, on what I’ve experienced, what I’ve known. I’m sorry I am so complicated!
Dark night of the soul, is a when the darkness that looms over me
that lurks within the very depths of my mind..
begins to awaken, to make itself known
it can be a night, or it can be many..
my thinking becomes depressing,
“what’s the use, what’s the point?” are things I ask
It’s being deeply emotional, and feeling like I am drowning in memories,
overwhelmed with feelings I am unable to cope well with..
It’s my life force, my energy being ‘sucked’ right out of me..
It’s hopelessness.. it’s feeling so very alone, so alone
It’s feeling like the constant void I’ve had is growing, pulsating, reminding me of it’s presence..its fighting against that which I cannot see
but only what I feel
not knowing where to turn to
where to lean
and realizing, again,
I’m still all alone.

I really like your username!
And a beautiful poem. I think that if there is hopelessness then there is only one way to go and that is up.
It can only last for so long.
@StrawberrySunrises - Thanks Strawberry, and yeah, that’s one way to look at it. I usually tell myself, I’ve survived worse, so this is “nothing” by comparison
