Depression
Brick walls
Caked with cement
Encased in glass
Surrounded by barbed wire
Guarded by rabid wolves
Buried 10 stories down
Under the ocean
Beneath a forgotten island
Below a starless sky.
This is a cage
Made all in my own.
I am trapped
Unable to breathe.
And I am getting very tired
Of rewriting my escape plans.
But all there is,
Is this crushing
Paralyzing
Unending
Agony.
Sun to moon
Century to century
This is depression.
