Grievous fetters bind the feet <br />Ponderous stones oppress the heart <br />Deprived- without sensation <br />No virtue to impart. <br /> <br />Despondent skies above; <br />Stalwart shades of gray <br />Begrudging every night- <br />Despising every day. <br /> <br />Mirror cloaked in shadow; <br />Disemboweled soul <br />Reflection of hypocrisy- <br />No worth to extol. <br /> <br />Sorrow prepossessed; <br />Bereavement—one’s own obsession. <br />Entombed in the abyss <br />Disillusioned by depression. <br /> <br />© S.E.S<br /><br />Sara Stowell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/depression-31/
