Depression

My heart is pounding

It's trying to beat right out of my chest.

I'm gasping for air

My lungs just can't seem to fill.

I feel as though I'm downing.

How can I drown on solid ground?

Am I sinking?

My soul falls deeper and deeper into the void.

I am powerless to stop anything.

I'm surrounded by people but no one can save me.

The emptiness is all I know.

This pain is all I feel.

I beg the gods to free me from this prison,

But they never do.

Every day I sink further and further.

Until I don't even know who I am.

I am lost in the darkness.

I have nothing to light the way.

Every where I turn is nothing but darkness.

Will I ever be free?

I am consumed by the void.
