Butterfly trapped by depression

by Trying to hold on   May 9, 2008


A butterfly trapped
In a cold prison cage
Fighting with bravery
In depressions last stage

Fluttering his wings
Against hard metal bars
Trying to break free
From bruises and scars

Pushing harder for life
Longing for fresh air
Wings broken and tattered
Never to fly out of there

No nectar of hope
To suck, to keep strong
Took a final breath
Struggled for too long

A butterfly was trapped
In a cold prison cage
Fought with bravery
On depressions last stage

R.I.P Adam 21st January 2008, struggled for too long from depression.
And dedicated to all those who were forced to suicide..R.I.P
