Winter Depression

Like a madwomen Hibernation is key When the streets are cold and lonely And I lye awake in solitude Battling the disease of my mind And the ever present thoughts that I am tainted and unlovable So I barricade myself from life And ferret out the constant chatter In my brain And I cry every morning For the sun to return again And peace to bring a smile To my lonely heart if winter doesn't break me Nothing can For the cold is insanity That bites bitterly At simple souls like me.
