There's an ocean,
Underneath me,
And a thought that
Can defeat me,
O, I'll cry,
When I see you
Once more...
There's a name,
I'm so ashamed,
I can't make it,
I'm to blame.
O, I'll cry
When I see you
Once more...
All the things
That I've done,
There's no battles
That I've won,
O, I'll cry
When I see you
Once more...
Inside I'm still dying,
Outside, I'm
Still trying,
There's no one
To hold open doors!
No lying , I'm crying,
My blood
Won't hit the floor;
But I'll cry,
When I see you
Once more...
I've got friends,
Til the end,
But no moments
I can rend,
There's nothing
But something
I adore!
Such a moment
Just a moment,
My atonement,
I abhor,
But I'll cry
When I see you
Once more!

A poem I wrote describing my depression. A year ago I caught a case for attempting to steal from a car, and pulling a gun on someone. Yeah... even I make serious mistakes. But the aggravated assault charge is going to be dropped, and I'll likely serve probation for attempted robbery of a motor vehicle. Thankfully it's a misdemeanor, and not the felony they wanted to charge me with... I wrote this today before court on Monday. Wish me luck and forgiveness... that's all I have the right to ask.
