Moment
Drowning, sputtering / Stuttering happiness / Clapping small hands

With a whimper
I used to think there were healthy people and sick people. / Turns out there are no healthy people at all. / Everybody's got something.

Forever temporary
Temporary, yes. / But also forever. / Forever voices in my head.

Here's to You
Here I am / Sitting alone / Thinking of your little fingers

Drool
You chunk / You little cheese / I've know you less than 3

You by you
you have laughed / And you have cried / While You were always watching

Escaping Damascus
Anxiety makes familiar faces unfamiliar. My stomach aches in church. The monster in my head turns my loved ones into monsters also. No safety net, only cement. My pastor talks of Paul escaping Damascus, being lowered down a wall in a basket. I feel that sick swaying and tense fear. I am held in sleep but must keep moving. I am kept awake but feel sleep like a strait jacket. Save me God. My life is only nothing without You.

Used To
Depression isn't what you think. / It's not slicing wrists and crying. / Not for everyone.

Don't make me go back inside / Please don't make me go / I think I might throw up
