Depression
It covers me in black
all day in the city.
It makes me look back
from all that is pretty.
It’s hands cover my face.
It’s arms around my head.
It clings to my waist
as I lie in my bed.
It won’t leave me alone.
It won’t let me be.
I’m all on my own,
and IT is just me.
Frown
The grass is brown
on the other side.
My heart wore a frown
as my child face lied.
I wear the golden crown
of a dreamlike suicide.
The man
Don’t be frightened
Don’t be scared
Don’t be anxious
The man declared
Don’t get nervous
Don’t get stressed
Don’t get edgy
The man addressed
Don’t go running
Don’t go cry
Don’t go screaming
You’re about to die.
Space
Tender limbs, a gentile face.
A soul to leave and go to space.
A beating heart, and closing eyes.
Oh the many tears she cries.
Today
I put myself on mute today.
I threw away my life today.
I let myself just fly away,
into the empty sky.
I told myself to sleep today.
I told myself to die today.
I told myself to run away,
into the empty sky.
Headache
A devil dances in my head,
forcing me to stay in bed.
The blinds are closed,
I’m in the dark.
The hot burning heat
has left a mark.
But once I take the magic pill,
the darkness blackens with a spill
The devil I now no longer keep
I am now in deep sleep.
Surprise
You can love with your eyes
and think with your mouth,
but it brings a surprise
from all the words that come out.
You may believe with your ears
and express with your skin,
but it brings a surprise
from all that comes in.
You can stick up your nose
and point a few fingers,
but it brings a surprise
when the emptiness lingers.
Open
You and I sleep tight,
but you can’t see right
when your eyes open.
And there goes our night
and the morning light
has suddenly spoken.
