    Dark Blue

    There's not much to feel proud of
    When sorrow's in control
    As it tears into my heart
    And eats into my soul

    I have had my highs and lows
    But lately, I've been low
    How fast can I flee the past?
    When progress has been slow

    With a past that still haunts me
    Reminds me of my strife
    Misery enveloped me
    And I hated my life

    Designate me a color
    Of a cold and dark hue
    I feel bad when I am sad
    And I am feeling blue

    Color me the darkest blue
    My depression is strong
    Something in me isn't right
    I've been like this too long

    I'm dark blue, that how I feel
    When all my hope is gone
    In the darkness of the night
    I yearn to see the dawn

    Yellow is the color of
    The light that is the sun
    Color me this brighter shade
    Of happiness and fun

    Schizophrenia had me
    Believing I'd stay blue
    I've been sad, but now I'm glad
    To know I'll make it through

    Through the darkness and the fear
    That can come from within
    I'll move on, my sorrow's gone
    The healing can begin

    All the damage that was done
    The horrors that I've faced
    It's like they never happened
    My blues have been erased

    another great read with real emotion. I have felt like this lots of the time, i think everyone has at some point in there life. you really capture that feeling of sadness and depression.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
