depression

A feeling of being trapped in a box

Chased by the hunter and you are the fox

Running deeper no where to go

A past present you no longer wish to know

Your heart cold as winter's frost

Your mind and soul forever lost

A longing for normality

Behind your eyes your hidden insanity

Each day is a struggle

To regain your composure

When you feel the sudden waves of anger

Hearing thoughts that bring you danger

Your friends and family

May never understand or see

That when you smile and laugh with them

Your grief is bursting at the seam

For many days and years

You listen to your hidden fears

Of slowly slipping away

Regretting another day

A single unfortunate event could trigger

A breakdown that only grows bigger

Each day you struggle to keep it together

Don't let them know, you will get better

Night is your time of peace

A sleep where all sadness can be at ease

A temporary break from your pain

But soon the sun shines upon your windowpane

Morning has come, open your eyes!

Hear the sweet sound of early birds cries

As they swoop down from tree to tree

Greeting all who wish to see

The beauty of the morning sun

A blessing from Gods only Son

You look out to the deep blue sky

And with a blink you begin to cry

The sadness you had hoped was gone

Grew stronger with the rising of the sun

You struggle to get out of bed

Constant thoughts fill your head

Why must anothef day arrive?

Why must I continue to thrive?

Why can't I have one day to cherish

without the grief you wish would perish
