I wrote this based upon my own experiences of battling derepression and anxiety. I also wrote this for those dealing with addiction.
Disturbing images all around
A terror inside that traps me down
Its mine to keep
I will not share
But my world is greater than I can bear
I seek out refuge
I seek relief
I hear of rescue
Beyond belief
There is hope
There is a way
Here is the key
To break away
She locks the door before escape
A pointless life she tries to shape
Living a life self pity created
Yet, this was the life so desperately hated
So, alone you placed yourself
Alone you will stay
You can’t fight back
Just walk away
Unlock these chains
Break down my fortress
I wrestle daily
With this mind I’m forced with
Just write it down
Take some notes
All to get your mind a float
It sounds enticing
Throw me a rope
Then pull me down
Void of hope
Join in with me, anxiety pleads
I hold the door to all your needs
You can do it
Fall down with me
I'll hold your hand
I’m all you need
Why not lay there
All alone?
Reject your family
Reject your home
Void of comfort
Void of peace
A hopeless cause
To find relief
Pity arrives just in time
You need help
Just wait in line
Who picked up the phone
Who listened while she fell
Who tried to save her from the pit of hell
You stroke the back of merciless thoughts
The ups and downs connect the dots
A vicious cycle
Will it end
Change just one thought
Call a friend
Create a new
Create something fresh
Thrust off the weight
Placed on your chest
Breathe just to breathe
Enjoy what you can
Start simple
No need for a master plan
You know the signs
You know the truth
Why allow your pain to soothe
You cannot keep this to yourself
You end up hurting everyone else
Understandable behavior
But it’s foolish to think
You're in this alone
It’s time now to blink
