Depression Poem [biogenerated poetry]

 Depression Poem


Behold, a surface devoid of depth

Tears are irrelevant

They require energy

I can only pass time

Slowly, like the turning

Of the earth

Spins out of habit

And I cling to a past

Where hope heralded a reason

To move


Time is your enemy, now

Watch as it unfolds another minute

Sinking deeper

Into your own eyes

Closing to the rhythm 

Of the rain

Comes down in sheets now

Mocking your lack of tears


Oh, Comforter

Where is your comfort?

I never meant for it to be like this

I never meant

You have to eat the pieces

That shatter into existence

When you reflect back on yourself

Eat your own guts

Tangled in a knot

Before you can see the flowers

Rising from the rain


You have to chew your own lips

Bite your teeth

Taste your tongue

Before one second of this moment

Crashes through the sky 

To remind you

You are there

You are there

And the rhythm of your heartbeat

Lurches for a drum

Bridling desire in its own

Red essence

The forgotten throbbing of pain


It’s on days like today

Days that fling themselves into existence

Days that drum slow and sad to the melancholy

Throb of heartpain

That I think death could be as good a friend

As sleep
