Depression

Your lost in a smoky room

You can’t see and no one can reach you

Voices are heard asking if you’re okay

You hear yourself say “I’m okay”

Asking if you want to go out

“Maybe next time” you say

The longing on your face because you want to scream Help!

But your trapped

You see yourself cry and you cry too

Because no one can help you

It’s a horrible dream you can’t wake up from

Then you see yourself talking to someone

You are crying but the smoke starts to clear

Weeks go by and a family member hugs you

You feel the warmth of the hug

And hug them tighter

Every day you take a pill to keep the fog away

A gentle smile grace your lips

Cause you have found your way through the fog
