Tiny feet scrabble across my mind leaving footprints in my subconscious thoughts they perturb me a warning the darkness this way comes haze at the edge of vision blind sides me with a sucker punch as I go down the meds forget to catch me as I hit rock bottom hard and fast spirralling in desperation treading water in my own pooling tears drowning... once twice I sink with no hand to rescue me no lifeline given. Where is the light at the end of tunnel vision where is the hope in hopelessness why can I not just let go inhaling salt into weary lungs and sleep

The Darkness This Way Comes
Tiny feet scrabble across my mind leaving footprints in my subconscious thoughts they perturb me a warning the darkness this way comes haze at the edge of vision blind sides me with a sucker punch as I go down the meds forget to catch me as I hit rock bottom hard and fast spirralling in desperation treading water in my own pooling tears drowning... once twice I sink with no hand to rescue me no lifeline given. Where is the light at the end of tunnel vision where is the hope in hopelessness why can I not just let go inhaling salt into weary lungs and sleep
Depressed and I guess it shows
