The sweet spot between life and death is sleep (clic here)

Depression and sleep


Black is the only color that I see

When I look at the room around me.

Is it still a room I wonder?

Or just of my sadness a reminder?


If I shut my eyes

Or open them wide

I only see darkness

Eating me alive


And I suddenly feel like I'm part of it

Like I couldn't distinguish clearly

Where my curled up body starts

And the shadow ends freely


It's noisy and thoughtful

To have a brain

To wish of happiness

And live under the rain


My mind then goes blank

And follows the tempting sin

Of giving up on myself

And let the monster win


So under a blanket

And a sky full of stars

My soul slips in the most lively death

I have ever dreamt so far

Hi, @justju7 :)

This is an emotional and contemplative piece. In some parts, I can relate as a nyctophile (dark/night lover) to how I feel about the dark being an overpowering presence. There are days when it's comfortable and when it feels like home, but there are also days when it feels like a fortress that draws you in. To put you within its walls forever or to temporarily shelter you from the world, I've no idea.

Whatever you're going through, I hope you find someone to share it with, be it here on 7Cups or in your off-Cups life.
