a solitary room
a lonely desert
a vast ocean
a deep hole

lost connection with the world
you tied me down to not see anyone
my heart surrenders to my captor
which so happens to be depression

Flashed across the dark veil of night
He lit up the sky like my God
but only for a brief second
then he was gone

I roared my thunder
and he responded in bright epiphany
how i wish he would stay to light up my sky
but he's too afraid to stick around and
be consumed by my roar

I'll wait for him in my storm

stuck in infinity
i'm a beaten dog.
call it animal abuse.
i'm injured yet forced
to chase the stick.
following my tail in circles.
i never learn.
a stubborn animal.
unworthy of the bone.
constantly following my master.
doing exactly as told.
but still facing the scold.
never perfect like the goldie.
i'm a mutt in a place for champions.
a disgrace to the hierarchy.
yet i'm forced to keep trying
Please, just put me down.
Let me rest.

Hold someone close
cherish the sun setting
smile for yourself
laugh because you feel like it
cry when necessary
love unconditionally
I hope I live
