Depression's Clutch
t brings pain
It brings heartbreak
It ensnares you
And those you love.
Its tendrils of gray,
Unmerciful.
Run
Run
Run
If they catch you
You're dead.
But me?
I died a long time ago.
An empty shell with the
'Privilege' to feel nothing but
Pain and Sorrow.
The joy? Why, it's drowned
Of course.
No good, only bad
The worst shines through
The best like a bolt of lightning.
The shiny silver? Protruding from
my heart?
Oh, don't mind that.
It only twists and twists,
Pity? Why, that word hardly exists.
Lies

Lies
They're all lies.
Trapping you in the intricate web you've
Woven with a tongue of refined silk.
You try to protect
To keep the from harm
You've Failed
Acceptance? You'll never be accepted.
Mercy? Even hate would be too kind for
The likes of you.
Friendship? It shattered the moment
You walked through that door, weaving
Your web of lies.
Ah yes, a menace to society,
A speck of dirt on Life's
Perfect image.
You and I, We are me. I am
Me alone, Alone am I.
On myself I have brought this pain,
Life wishes to throw me out.
Do I spite all, by fighting back?
Or
Do I let the waves of gray
Take me to the kindest of
Slumbers, where pain
Cannot reach?
The Suffering
Would end...
