Red Clouds

Depression has reached through the clouds and found me. It has grasped me and threatens to drag me to hell. I could probably stop it but that would require too much energy. Something I don't have. It has fully engulfed me. I am submerged into its layers and feeling each bite and scratch on the surface of my heart. I feel the heavy chains of blue wrapped around my mind. It is physical. It is dangerous, yes I know. Yet I toy with how far it will go. It could really swallow me whole and I shall be lost from the light forever. Where is that little light you were singing about? Shine it into the darkness so that I may follow it back to sanity. The madness is all too real now. I'm numb yet everything I feel physically and emotionally is magnified. I feel it more and more each time my heart beats. I feel it ripping me apart. It hurts. It hurts. Help me. Save me. Lift me out of this river that sinks deep. It's so deep. It will surely drown me. Scream. Scream loud into the bright darkness! Let it know that you are angry. Let it know you are hurt. Get it out. Scream. Cry. Babble. Argue. Do whatever it takes because if you don't, depression will reach out through the clouds and grasp you.
