Yo-Yo of the Depressive

So it is, I am back again
Woken from the deepest sleep
That yesterday consumed me whole
Today, the fog has lifted

Twenty fours hours make a difference 
To take a man out of the shadow
A thousand moments passing 
Blink of an eye to the universe

Where as I lay deflated 
This morning, rage on victorious
Songs now pour from my heart 
Gone, the thick black tar

Sunlight felt a burden
Now I surf its rays 
Bird call that was once grating 
A weight has shifted

So it is, I am back again
But for how long I ask
If tomorrow I slip under 
Accept, the Yo-Yo of the Depressive
