Failing.
I thought...
I thought of that whole moment.
I smiled-
but I was sad.
I realized that the more I tried-
the more I failed.
I said-
"I'm recovered" and I smiled-
to hide the fact that I was not.
I looked over the my shoulder and said-
"That's why".
I realized hwo rare it was to settle.
It's all fragile- I'm fragile.
I realized that-
no matter how hard you kick
no matter how high you get-
you will never go all the way around.
Depression.
Depression is a trap-
that you only have one way out-
a long, everalsting, deep, sleep.
So I fell asleep...
slowly, then all at once.
I slept for a long time.
I passed-
I passed, for the first time in my life...
I didn't fail.
I was gone.
I never saw again.
I managed to escape-
the never-ending cycle of depression.
For one time in my life I didn't fail.
