Poems
Feb 2012
Depression
When it's least expected, it hits like a
freight train.
Where you're playing guitar on a sunny afternoon and
tornadoes blow through.
Writing songs to the beat of my heart,
the room catches fire.
My candle is blown out.
Suddenly
I can't see.
Trapped in the black silence
I create my shackles
and swallow my own key.
People come and go.
Some try to break the ties.
I glare with danger in my eyes.
Biting the hand that feeds
is now my only need.
How did I get to this point?
I won't allow me out of this joint.
Go away.
Leave me be.
Don't you see?
Come back...
Please...
