Depression
Depression.
It’s like being trapped in a dark tunnel.
You are cold.
With nobody to keep you warm,
As they wrap their arms around you.
You are alone.
Nobody is there for you;
Nobody ever was.
You are in the dark.
With nothing to save you.
You need to find a way out,
An easy escape,
So you reach for your blade.
As you feel the cold metal seep into your skin,
A little too deep,
You first feel a rush of pain,
Hitting you like a tidal wave.
And then,
The world starts spinning a little,
You feel kind of dizzy.
Until,
Black.
