Taken

Tender toes,
Treading tentativly,
Taking time, 
Trying tactfully. 
Tendons tremble,
Tension tightens,
Tilting, Twisting, 
Tripping, tumbling!
Terror. Trouble.
Touching totality.
Tomorrow. taken.

Depression

You feel it in the pit of your stomach
A dread that you can't comprehend
Heavy and dark and foreboding 
Like you just want the world to end

It comes at you out of nowhere
To steal your hope and your joy
Heavy and dark and foreboding
Like stealing a child's favourite toy

Everything seems overwealming
Getting out of bed is a chore
Heavy and dark and foreboding
Like an apple, rotten at its core

You know that life could feel better
But you just can't figure out how
Heavy and dark and foreboding 
Like happiness can't happen now

Inside of your head you are screaming
But from your mouth there's no word
Heavy and dark and foreboding
Like the taunt of a cruel mockingbird

So for now you wait in the darkness
Trapped in your minds cocoon
Heavy and dark and foreboding
Like a prisioner locked in a tomb

Happiness

Feel the sun on your face
Hear the wind through the trees
See the clouds rolling by
Smell the earth in the breeze

See the flowers as they bloom
Hear the birds summer song
Feel the grass beneath your feet
Smell the forest, big and strong

See the shimmer of the lake
Hear the laughs with no care
Smell the warmth of your skin 
Feel the love everywhere

Why

Why am I here 
I want to know
What is it for
Where do we go

I don't understand 
I cannot see
What is the point
Of you and me

Why is there life
And why does it end
What else is out there
I can't comprehend

Anxiety

Shaky hands
Racing heart
Like a million drums that start

Blurry eyes
Dizzy head 
Like a drunk straight out of bed

Now take a breath
Sigh it out
Remind yourself what lifes about
