Depression
My journey pulls me upward
Out of places of despair
The darkness lies in wait
Round the corner it is near
When lifes’ sorrows get too many
And pile upon my back
The darkness will again return
And poise for its attack
And when it called those I loved
It was ruthless in its game
It took the breath from everyone
And called them out by name:
Paul, Jay, James, Ralph
