Sadness And Tears

Just another day filled with sadness
It's unrelenting and leaves me exhausted
But at least at the end of another day of tears
I can find refuge in sleep
Sometimes
Other times I just lie here
The nighttime gloom is both physical
And mental
And fills my mind with dark shapes
So that I sometimes yearn for the sun
Even though with the sun comes the sadness
And the useless tears
Depression has such long, sharp claws
They tear your guts out
And leave you just alive enough
To wish you were dead
