Misdiagnoses

Eleven years have passed What may as well be a lifetime He feels these constant feelings of hopelessness "It is depression" Says the man Engulfed by his ironically white coat Time is all there is to push him forward His thoughts, his feelings, his hopes They are drowning He is drowning; sinking into a pool of viscous waste Surrounded by mates he feels enlighten Blood begins pumping into his dying heart Excitement and thrills arrive Clad in their armour and ready to pounce But spasms Like leaking faucets they flow, stream Gush out without a sign of stopping The shot is too far and the javelin of speech prematurely shoots The crowd goes silent Parting, after glances are passed Those of disgust Maybe annoyance He knows what has happened Now he must fall Back down, he submerges himself Into the abyss of darkness and desolation Social affairs are his greatest fear An unconquerable enemy who neither eats nor sleeps It holds a double edged swords Perpetually polished with his soul as a whetstone His entire world is crashing down on him There is nothing he can do The truth is Despair and despondence are his only friends This feeling These feelings He has no help He can not control He is left to die His bottle of tranquilizers It will serve more use Than the man in white could ever have imagined
