Wings

Illness

Depression is a prison where you are 
     both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer.  
          ~Anon

It’s a nebulous reality
Inside where it can’t be defined~
Insane soaring to the heights;
Insane falling to the depths,
Illusions of happiness like icebergs 
Intruding on flames of hope~
I dream of wings without cages.
