Behind the Shadows

[manny2]

Standing in darkness;
Behind the shadows
There was a girl.

Her head low to the ground
Eyes shut with tears streaming down;
Shaking her head, in misery and disbelief.

Finally opening her eyes,
looking up to blackness around her.
her eyes piercing with hate.

An avalanche of problems
Stumbled on her.
Life itself taking a toll on this girl.

With her addiction at hand
Unable to get out of this depression
Giving up hope, having no more interests

Uncaring about anything passing her way
Finally completely pushed to the ground
There is no way up from where she stands now

No company around,
No friends to come,
No one to trust,
No one to be around.

Alone she stands.
Behind the shadows,
Waiting in the darkness;
For her time to come.

Strange, how it reminds me of who I was before. This girl might still be somewhere inside of me, but she has made a lot of progress. :)
This is a touching poem, manny2. Let's have a thought for all the lonely persons on this planet.

There's a lot of lonely people out there in the world. I am guilty of being one of them at times. It takes a lot of will power to overcome the depression and I am just now overcoming one. Being able to relate to this poem I can honestly say I was impressed with this piece.

I think everyone has most likely felt this way at least once in their life, just depends if they can get out of it or not...
