Today just like so many days I waste away to nothing.
Standing here, frozen by fear, I feel I must do something.
The light within has grown so dim; the sunshine of my being.
A cold grey darkness fills my soul; an empty lifeless feeling.
I try to smile and lift my eyes and think a happy thought.
My thinking is dead and I find instead; all happiness is lost.
Where is the life I had as a child the happy free existence?
Gone away, leaving me to face life where hope seems missing.
A child is always happy, because he or she has not faced life yet.
Yes, pretty good this. You have done the subject well. Read mine - Nam's Unmorned - Adeline
This is an excellent example of depression, the feeling of sinken to a bottom that never seems to end, may things improve and thank you for writing this, it captures despair all to well
Excellent description of emptiness, it is not a nice feeling. I hope you are that child again running in the sand.

I can feel your loneliness and pain. Your words pierce into my head and sit there making me sad.
