They call me a hole in the ground,
Or perhaps one that's gnawing away,
At what still remains of your soul,
I have many names,
"Rock-Bottom", "The Blues", "Depression",
Myraid pseudonyms, coined by those guests,
Who paid me a visit, and left,
Some by the same way they came,
Others by rupturing a vital vein,
Still, they choose to blame me for their sins,
Take out their frustrations on my kith and kin,
I hope one day, the people who have spent time here,
Will realize that there's a way out,
All you need to do,
Is look within the Abyss,
And see the Light burning deep within it
Or perhaps one that's gnawing away,
At what still remains of your soul,
I have many names,
"Rock-Bottom", "The Blues", "Depression",
Myraid pseudonyms, coined by those guests,
Who paid me a visit, and left,
Some by the same way they came,
Others by rupturing a vital vein,
Still, they choose to blame me for their sins,
Take out their frustrations on my kith and kin,
I hope one day, the people who have spent time here,
Will realize that there's a way out,
All you need to do,
Is look within the Abyss,
And see the Light burning deep within it
A poem I wrote for The Word Affair (TWA) containing the word "Abyss"
