Depression Storm


Once awhile ago I was lost

In a place so cold everything was laced in frost

Couldn't find my way in a blizzard

I screamed but couldn't make it so my voice is heard

I cried, yelled, pleaded with all my might

But I wasn't quite ungulfed in the snowy night

Halfway there it would seem

While my sanity was split at the seam

I fought hard against the storm

After awhile, it lightened up, and began to get warm

For hope was shining bright in it's glory

Moving on from a sight so gory

Wounds began to heel, ones ultimately self-induced

As a new hope was introduced
