Inspired by Ink Empress's poem ;0) I am NOT depressed but for some reason this poem just wrote itself this way.

I tried to fly without white wings I cried inside with soul dying Broken spirit broken dreams Can you hear it my black heart screams I was asleep and yet awake Nightmares so deep they escape The well in me the hell in me Tormented spirits keep jailing me I hide my heart in my shoe Like it is money or gold’s fool I walk around limping in pain For I hate sun and love the rain For sun makes clear all shadows I’d disappear like a haunted ghost Ever so near to holy hope Depression is weird like me you know Glassy eyes from teal tears fried My heart broken my insides tied Into burnt knots of mahogany Lost in thought my glassy wings

It is a deep, somber poem. I like how you show the other sides of sun and rain. Rain can be comforting when a person feels down.

Isn't depression fun to write about?! You get to tap into a whole new vocabulary and phraseology. (Seriously!). Excelsior, gw

Wow! First of all, i am truly touched and honored that you were inspired by me, and used this as also your title, secondly! I think this is one of my most fave poems written from your soul, youv expressed in such an evocative manner that made me tear up, i love such poems that makes me feel so much and i really loved the line “ For I hate sun and love the rain ” as well as “ Into burnt knots of mahogany Lost in thought my glassy wings” wow! This definitely is a fave for me! Well done!
