Depression’s Wheel of Thought

people always wanting change
people always refusing to grow
life became a series of blinding Highs 
and a series of binding lows

we can’t help but feel Shock
when the world lets us down
every moment of air
reminds us how quickly we drown 

smiling children’s faces
get Lost in the night 
the stinky stench of suffering
won’t leave without a fight

kindred spirits chip apart
eroded by the dripping waters of time
things once seemingly Pure
clouded by doubt’s enviable grime 

Love becomes lost 
in the broken bits of emptiness
No matter how hard we seek the light
we get swallowed by darkness

we hold on to the frailty of Hope
praying this time it won’t let go
But deep down we are too aware
that it left us long long ago
