Short Depressing Poems

I'm Digging My Own Grave

There is nothing more that I wish for than a sense of peace,

Nothing more nothing less.

I want to lie bathed in golden light poured through the milky shades,

Surrounded by my clothes, an empty beer can, and a tower of mugs.

There is nothing I wish more than to experience a sound mind,

Despite raging fits and bouts of grave emptiness.

I want to drown in silence while the leaves dance hauntingly around me,

Crying for my childhood, my adolescence, and my unpromising adulthood.

There is nothing I wish more than to be left alone.

Strictly for self validation and a guilty conscience.

I want to pass in an empty room ready for the next occupant,

Because in the end I'm just an empty vessel painting the walls grey instead of white.
