"Join the land of the broken souls,
The land where the lost people go,
Where it is? Nobody knows.
Just close your eyes and follow the ghost,
The phantom of your crushed dreams,
The hunting of your lost glee."
I hear these words and they rip through me,
The voice it pulls trying to lead,
Closing my eyes as it drags my feet."
Silently it whispers,
"I am the voice of the broken just follow me."
I think to resist, but it drags me under,
Taken to the place where pain is your lover.
The voice it sings,
"Come join us, swing on your rope ring,
Come now join the rest."
I finally give in, I've tried my best,
I walk over and lay to rest.
Where I am I already know,
I've joined the Land Of Broken Souls.

I like this Piece because it is another more deep way of explaining depression.
