Desperate attempts
I know will never work
Songs to silence the screaming in my soul
Therapy to tame the thoughts threaded into my head
Runs to rescue me from restless movements and nights abandoned by sleep
And meditation to placate the erratic thrashing of my heartbeats
Can anything keep the despairs of depression and the agonies of anxiety away from me?
They linger and haunt and destroy
I search and scour and scavenge for ways to take my mind off what infects it
Only to be let down like a balloon deflating
Nothing can save me, can it?
