Drifting Away: Heartfelt Poems Exploring the Torments of Mental Illness

I drift away, into a sea of darkness,

My thoughts consumed by endless sadness.

I'm lost and alone, in this desolate abyss,

Where shadows dance and secrets hiss.

I try to fight, to hold on tight,

But the current pulls me, into the night.

My mind races, a relentless torrent,

Threatening to consume me, in every moment.

I'm drowning, sinking beneath the waves,

My spirit shattered, into countless graves.

I'm drifting away, from all that I know,

Into a darkness where I'm destined to go.

There's a shadow within me,

That whispers doubts and fears.

It tells me I'm worthless,

That I'm not worth the tears.

It haunts me in my dreams,

And torments me by day.

It makes me question my worth,

And fills me with dismay.

I try to push it away,

But it clings to me like glue.

It's a constant companion,

That I can't seem to subdue.

I'm fighting a battle,

That no one can see.

It's a war against myself,

Against the darkness that wants to consume me.

I struggle to find light,

In a world that feels so dim.

But I won't give up,

I'll keep fighting until I win.

I may be broken,

But I'm not defeated.

I'll rise above the darkness,

And emerge as someone who's completed.

In the depths of darkness,

Where shadows dance and fears reside,

There's a flicker of hope,

A light that cannot hide.

It's a gentle flame,

That burns within the heart.

It whispers of resilience,

And the strength to make a start.

It reminds us that we're not alone,

That even in the bleakest night,

There's always room for hope,

And a future that's filled with light.
