Depiction of Depression

Hovering Low Sighs and tears I do not know How to repair This emptiness Despondency laced with despair Feels like suffocating In a room full of air Submerged in rancid clinging cloaks Bound and battered stinging snares I am tired, so trodden down Buried beneath mammoth cares The bed my only refuge seems Fragile covers are my lair So long it’s been So many fears I sigh again Fight back salty tears Cover my head So many lost years.
