been years now but depression still sets in.


Awaiting Sunshine.

I'm in a world that isn't there
At least not there for me
What is it that I'm lacking
That I can't see what others see

Is there an aura that surrounds me
Restricting vision in the air
Or am I just a marionette
With strings attached and unaware

I try to rise above it
With leaden limbs that hold me back
Its like swimming in an oil pit
And I cannot find the track

I might waste away upon the morn
With this burden filled with fears
Or awake in blessed sunshine
To kiss away my tears

Will I ever shake the loss from me
And engrave with me a smile
Or walk this earth till my demise
Till once again I hold my child.

This is a very heart-breaking text. I'm not really sure if I can describe how it made me feel. All I can say is that I am sorry for your loss, and that no matter what, you cannot give up hope because of what you have lost. The one who you have lost wouldn't want that for you. This is excellent and I love it.

You have to pray for God to guide you. The depression must go.

Excellently written and touching.
