Depression

Numb,
Broken,
Floating,
Spinning,
All at once.
Heart's pounding in your head, like under water.
Muffled voices trying to reach you
Before you're too far gone
Somewhere...
hell..
lost forever
knee-deep in black-sludge-vomit
Waging war with demons
Stuck in an endless pit of reality
Might you become a stranger to even yourself.
Too little to late...
Too weak to break free, like so often-times before.
Too tired to care you are naked
One with the rubble of ash and flames
Floating on the salty water.
And there is no more pain.
Your tears have finally lost their intoxicating familiarity
Because you realize they are not your own.
They are the tears of your children and all who cared.
They mourn your freedom
While you thank God for being reborn!
