Black thoughts in my mind
Self worthlessness, self pity.
Lack of confidence
Unloved, unhappy.
People don't like who I am.
Who am I?
They seem to have already decided,
How can they?
I am within me,
Engulfed with these thoughts,
that can't be switched off.
I am the only one that thinks in my mind.
How can they decide who, and what I am.
Black thoughts moving through ,
the dark corners of my mind.
As if some unseen hand has suddenly,
switched them on,
like that of a light needed,
to brighten a room.
These thoughts unwanted, thoughts
of hateful feelings,
looking through my box of tricks,
to see what they can find.
The weakest spots they are looking for,
in the corners of my mind.
They hide in the darkness ,and then step out
to trip me up.
Left uncovered, bared to the weakest thoughts,
that hide in the darkness,
in the corners of my mind.
Suddenly I was aware of music
moving over my being,
like that of a soothing hand.
Music is really nourishment ,
for my soul.
But what of those black thoughts
in the darkness ,
in the corners of my mind.

The darkness of depression can be eased by a uplifting thought, the scent of a positive memory, the sound of a uplifting piece of music, the touch of a persons hand, ahh yes I have been there, and I have emerged from the blackness to embrace the day, good words Joy.....cheers Trevor.
