------+-----Helplessness-----+------

Well. I wrote this poem when I was really depressed. So if it's slightly twisted and dark. That's why...

Why do i feel this empty void? Life has me trapped and my emotions are going hay-wire
Why does it feel like every happy memory is being destroyed?
Why is it i feel so helpless?
Lost,
Dead,
Excited
Sad,
Yet somehow glad?
Why do i need to feel these things so much?
Why is it my heart is strong yet sensitive to touch?
Were am i in life? Am i weak or am i strong?
Will i ever really feel like i belong?
I have friends but even i'm scared to lose them
I hide my secrets and most of my emotions behind my mask
Why does everything prove to be my most complicated mind and heart breaking task?
Why do i cry when i'm neither happy nor sad?
What's this feeling when i feel helpless.
I need someone around me i can trust, yet i feel the need to be isolated and alone
As if everything is sinking in. Chilling and killing me to the bone
Helplessness and distress. A feeling of remorse and regret
My biggest, darkest, most frearful secret
I'm drowning in my own helplessness...
The tears i shed the smile i show
Making me wither like a flower in the sun, so helpless and slow...

I think it captures the chaotic ups and downs and in's and out's of one who is depressed.

While reading it, it makes me feel as if I was lost in a room, full of people I know...yet even though they were talking to me and shaking my hand, all i heard was my own mind screaming to run and hide.

A nice piece that takes us to an emotionally hard moment in time.
