Dear depression
I don't remember exactly when
you declared me your companion
When exactly you taunted my temperament with your anxious aggression
Bending all rays of reason from river that writes my reflection
I know I'm here now
At the floor of an ocean
Whose waters dehydrate every decibel
Of comprehension
A theater of menacing monsters
Stark scilences that slice every breath
Into morbid mounds of death
I know I'm here now
Living in a lucid dream
That onlookers declare lugubrious
A petrifying paralysis that lyrics
Life been lines layered with sleep
A surface whose shallow
coating drowns deep
Where living is a shadow of a form
Whose screams never cease to weep
I'm never heard hear
Reality is barley a pull of the ear
This tumultuous thunder tears
Through my torn form as
Polite Hi's I'm fine thanks and how are yous
My eulogy inks images
of the most peacful pain
The calm that Colours
The heaven of grey rain
Far from the frozen fossils
Formed by the florescent smiles I fein
Please place your flowering judgments
At the head stone of my heart storm
After tasting the grains from the sandstone
That crystalised the chaos that Colours my eyes...
Dear depression
Though I've vowed
To never look down heal
I do not know
What satire is scribed
Beyond the seal
But as we wrestle
Like God and Isra'eel
May the fragrance flowing
From this crushed petal
Cause your future forms to foam
Stoned by every cent of stillnes stolen
Tortured by every war woven
Carving your essence in death
So that perhaps a part of tomorrow
Can learn how to smile without sorrow.
