I am feeling an immense pain
Which, in my mind, is like the rain
In that it will always come down
And, in coming down, bring with it a frown.
As it rains, my happiness dies.
And as it dies, my heart cries.
Then the world seems a horrible place,
And nothing can remove it’s hideous face.
What I am feeling is worse than sad
This feeling dampens even the brightness of glad.
As I move through this shadowy realm
I am a boat of fear, with depression at the helm.
Depression, the killer of good
Burning it up as a fire burns wood
As it burns, it gives off a light
That in good people causes a fright.
This is the depression that mars me
Only death can make me free
Flying through the endless night
Finally free of all of this fright.
As I watch the ground approach,
Doing something that life does not coach,
I close my eyes in preparation for,
The closing, the final closing, of the final door.
So, whoever may find this,
Whom I shall sorely miss,
Please take this lesson to heart:
Life is not a good place to start.
