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.
