April 24th Resolution- A Goodbye to Depression
Her cry pierced the sky
He didn't care
He was a Nightmare
A defeated Shadow
Looking only for escape
Yet he could not outrun
His self-chosen fate
It's too late
No time to wait
The date has been set
She didn't let him
Do as he did
He hid in the middle
Worked beneath life's riddles
That troubled the mind
A shadow in the sunshine
"Whoosh," went the wind, whipping, whirling
Around red
Faces, figures
Dying for breath, in the last traces
Of air, light and fair
'Round red, burning, turning
Faces and figures, listen
As the they splash in the distance
A fall for each
Who would reach the bottom
Of the seas they were in
But she could swim
Somehow, this lifesaving instinct kicked in
She was chosen and given
A place, a way of escape
She was no shadow in the sunshine
Her love was divine,
She had what he could never have
She liked that
She liked real things
Even when he tried to hide them
She liked things on wings that sing
Even when she could not eye them
And as she drifted in the seas
She went on and defied them
She put her problems over
And decided to live outside of them
