When I get depressed 

The only thing that can supress

My sorrow

Is sleep 

It's the only thing that allows 

Me to dream

While conscious I am merely trapped

In negativity

Forced down by gravity

My mind doesn't even let me imagine anything beyond

The deep dark desperate thoughts that haunt me 

Drown me in my own fears and despair

Leaving me to believe there is hope here or anywhere 

How am I to escape this black hole 

To find greater worth deep in my soul

It starts with the glimpse of light

The distant star barely in sight

I can not focus on that surrounding me

But hold to the light to come 

The one I know can and will in time set me free 

And then, Just like in my sleep I can have life goals and dreams.....Finally
