All day all night Darkness covers all my sight Soul hurts, my life is cold I wear the hooded robe I see other smiles I see people laugh But hear them? I cannot I wear the hooded robe Days dragging on Nights hanging till dawn Memory is a dream I wear the hooded robe The heart clouds return Tears falling like rain My pain is worn and old I wear the hooded robe
Reason for writing:
I have suffered with clinical depression for most of my life. I am just now understanding why I have felt this way.
