Trapped Soul

I'm tired of feeling this way again and again,
Being this close to the edge,
I don't feel safe. 
It feels like someone will push me over at any moment.
This sadness, this depression,
Has a deep hold on me,
Like a ball and chain. 
Just like a prison,
I'm here locked up tight. 
I can't seem to find the light.
I feel trapped.

It seems that my depression has more of a hold on me than I do myself. I'll be okay though. Thank you c:
