“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
-Tolkien

Colors dance behind my eyes
Dancing, dancing as I fade
Colors begging me to rise
But, alas, sadness flows in a crushing wave
Burying me in my shame
Red water drowns me slowly
Laughing as my lungs begin to suffocate
Whispering lies to make everything fine
A I slowly die inside

I wrote this from my experience with depression and how I felt about all the overwhelming feelings that came over me at the worst times.
