Depression

by jescelle   Sep 21, 2004


Its not like i can help it,
depression just overtakes you,
like a wave of black water,
drowning you ever so slightly.
and as you fall your realization of the world falls with you,
and your falling deeper and deeper
and you cant stop,
and no matter what you do or how hard you try the sun keeps setting on your world,
and the shadows grow,
and the birds stop singing.
the only thing that stays the same are the bugs that crawl all over your skin.
you hold your breath,
and it seems like forever,
but it only takes that once,
just one time...
and its over
