Stuck in the Mist

In this mist I can't quite see my edges properly I'm coping on the level of both rational and almost raving and I want to shine which isn't much, just a firefly light but I'm in the midst of susurration and they're not gentle, and there's no calming breeze to carry me because my wings have been closed for a long time and I can only beg but to whom? It doesn't feel sincere when I'm not even sure But I promise that I mean it because these tears aren't for my own benefit they are to show you that I've still a little fight left enough to wrap myself in Because now, I'm only fighting for myself Although I was always told to upraise the ones reaching and I'm not content, I am trying and I need a transformation but I can't croak out "Save me". Even as I dangle over this puddle, and I work up courage courage to find your ears in hopes that you'll hear me, I also know I'm losing strength becoming heavier I am certain that I'm now too heavy for you, I will pull you with me so I will wait longer searching the mist for someone with superhuman strength and I will grow more tired until that hand comes and discovers that my weight it otherworldly, now and they will have to choose if I am worth the struggle. The devil will hope to cheat but God's Will decides.

Depression that isn't the destruction of oneself so much as the uncertainty and fear that you're losing yourself.
