The setting sun Embroiders heavy, Pregnant with rain, clouds With hues of pink laced with gold Up against the tranquil blue sky The pink clouds sprawled across the solid blue Like the wool baby blanket You can't get yourself to give up Sometimes When I look up at those tangible, Realer than life clouds I fathom if they could possibly take me away Zip down to me like an unidentified space craft-- I would board the clouds like a ship And I'd be shown all the world All the wonders of the world, And all the knowledge of the world not yet known to mankind I'd escape every triviality that perplexes me daily, Which I know shouldn't perplex me, but does anyway, Because I'm human and sometimes I'm not as brave and noble as I want and ought to be Bats fly overhead.. My daydreams cannot take me very far, For they are limited to my minds synapses.. A firefly dances beside me.. The sun sets hastily Shadows grow deeper, Simultaneously my heart grows despondent As the shadows of night proliferate, Until darkness engulfs this town entirely, Like a cloak That incites my own inner shadows To awaken I dream of a day That will be filled with elation and no more Of this intermittent, unwanted pain That is like birth pangs, Unexpected and excruciating *Sunset clouds, take me away Take me to the paradise that my mind Did create.*

Sunset to Paradise
The setting sun Embroiders heavy, Pregnant with rain, clouds With hues of pink laced with gold Up against the tranquil blue sky The pink clouds sprawled across the solid blue Like the wool baby blanket You can't get yourself to give up Sometimes When I look up at those tangible, Realer than life clouds I fathom if they could possibly take me away Zip down to me like an unidentified space craft-- I would board the clouds like a ship And I'd be shown all the world All the wonders of the world, And all the knowledge of the world not yet known to mankind I'd escape every triviality that perplexes me daily, Which I know shouldn't perplex me, but does anyway, Because I'm human and sometimes I'm not as brave and noble as I want and ought to be Bats fly overhead.. My daydreams cannot take me very far, For they are limited to my minds synapses.. A firefly dances beside me.. The sun sets hastily Shadows grow deeper, Simultaneously my heart grows despondent As the shadows of night proliferate, Until darkness engulfs this town entirely, Like a cloak That incites my own inner shadows To awaken I dream of a day That will be filled with elation and no more Of this intermittent, unwanted pain That is like birth pangs, Unexpected and excruciating *Sunset clouds, take me away Take me to the paradise that my mind Did create.*
About depression and wanting to escape it.
