Depression


Depression is a deep trench That goes on forever with no end Pitch black and empty Darkness for eternity Depression is a tornado Rushing and confusing everything Demolishing all your thoughts Leaving you helpless without a care Depression is an addiction Staying with you wherever you go Influencing you for the wrong Burning in your soul night and day Forever tormenting your mind Depression is a blazing fire Consuming up your every thought Happiness and peace melt away Your meaning of like taken away in the flames And the scent of smoke scorched into your memory Depression is a deep sleep Never waking Condemned away from the world outside Trapped in a jail of your own mind Tears fall and fall You can’t get out For depression will be there Holding you prisoner
