Nice imagery!
I also like the rhyming. Unlike most poems, they don't sound forced. They fit rather nicely here. It gives the poem a even better flow.
I don't know how you do it, but you can express such complexity into words so simply.
'Flowers rush in,
Skulls march out
Of that depression
That cave of doubt.'
Best part!
I don't know what else to say... this is just incredible!

I really like this poem. It's not your typical "emo" poem. It's nice, and if one has suffered from depression they will appreciate this. I like how you throw in red. I was think of red as passionate color, so I assume your thoughts of depression are quite passionate as well. Nicely done.

This is a striking poem. The one thing that most people neglect (which you don't) in writing a poem like this is that you can't simply emote and be original. The emotion has to be tempered with recollection and thought in order to be properly expressed. It definitely gives the reader the impression of your feelings without being a carbon-copy. Thanks for the great poem, and keep it up!

I know how much people hate the short 'that was really good' reviews, but wow. I'm not sure what else to say about this one. I completely understood the meaning and the feeling (or at least the one I interpretted). Really relatable. I like that last line I had to read it a few times to decide what it meant. Great job. I really liked this one.

Wow, you're right - it isn't your typical depression poem! Very well done, nice use of description and subtlety... it gives the impression that the character is imprisoned in their own mind...

I found the line, although idyllic,

Flowers rush in,Skulls march out

to be slightly confusing, though.

P.S. Thanks for your review!

perfect, I love the ending. "Flowers rush in,Skulls march out"I love this, too. Good job.

I like "flowers rush in / skulls march out" and the cave image... but depression poems in general kind of annoy me unless they're somehow original. Congratulations.. you've given it an original (almost silly) spin.
