Depression Is Like a Prison

Waking up in the early morning light

To the mellifluous chirps coming from the birds outside the window

It used to be so peaceful to me

But now I wake up and it is like a burden upon my shoulders.

A burden so strong it's like my already aching body is slowly losing the capability it once had

My mind was once filled with so much hope 

And now all of this despair is taking over

Depression is like a prison and I'm sentenced 

25 to life
