Look What I Found On My Windshield

I found a note on my windshield
Telling me I need to stop
Popping pills every single day
Little do they know
I can’t survive without those pills
Do they want me to be depressed?

I remember how each day I was depressed
How I just wanted to bash my head through my windshield
I’d have to tell myself to stop
And survive the agony every single day
As if they could ever know
What it’s like without the pills

You tell yourself you don’t need the pills
All the time you just want to stop 
But there you are still depressed
It’s like looking through a rainy windshield
How would you ever know?
The ways I didn’t feel every single day

And there you are every single day
Laying in bed depressed
Like they’d ever know
What it’s like to look through the windshield
So I go and take the pills
And you want me to stop?

I wish I could stop
Have you ever thought that maybe I don’t want the pills?
I hate that I rely on them every single day
But I don’t want to go back to being depressed
I wish I could let you know
What it’s like to be trapped behind a windshield

What it looks like behind the windshield?
Everyone thinks they know
They look through one every single day
But they never actually stop
And realize that they don’t need pills
To keep themselves from being depressed

So please stop putting notes about pills
On my windshield every single day
Like you know what it’s like to be depressed

Chasing the Cat

Simply softly these guileful feet do trot
Those cavalier whisper my name in glee
Hiding I pray from dear loves noble lot

My attire a smirk, though my voice distraught
I'll squirm far away, yet they be carefree
Simply softly these guileful feet do trot

A fervor shared though I am not caught
Innocuous yet gentle I agree
Hiding I pray from dear loves noble lot

Conceivably hidden in such a spot
Amenity relaxation could be
Simply softly these guileful feet do trot

Quickly to safety overhead I plot
Why does all the attention land on me?
Hiding I pray from dear loves noble lot

Perhaps one day I'll play whilst being sought
But as a cat I may just disagree
Simply softly these guileful feet do trot
Hiding I pray from dear loves noble lot

Depression

Deep inner turmoil rising in layers of morose fog
Eternally she seems to scream putrid nothings
Put your mind to rest in somnambulist serenity
Reaching forever to only waylay breath
Efface my eyes does she of beatific maudlin
Sallow spirit filled with lackadaisical laughter 
She steals away grins and gifts glower
Inane is the patron of life she echoes
Onerous is this bombination of melancholy 
Needless are we the companions of she

Somber Symphony

The piercing stars glow such a gentle white
Allure, composed by purely nature’s wit
Attend to melodies of sacred night

The hillside yonder is forlornly bright
Fragments of sleeping heavens snugly fit
The piercing stars glow such a gentle white

A milky storm of conflagration flight
No winsome sweet reality does sit
Attend to melodies of sacred night

In evanescence they name deep twilight
Dimmest strings and erratic dreams are knit
The piercing stars glow such a gentle white

A pitch as deep as a medieval knight
The crooning echoes are softly moonlit
Attend to melodies of sacred night

Nyx is singing sweetly a softest slight
Somnambulists are silenced bit by bit
The piercing stars glow such a gentle white
Attend to melodies of sacred night

Conceptual Darkness

Dancing with conceptual darkness
In a white dress stained with a dead love
Behind the partners eyes lies the truth
Which is nothing more than insanity
That grins and laughs at a woman's loss
Oh for it was those very eyes
Eyes she first looked upon and saw weakness
Reflecting back
Knowing not of those dark desires
And she was broken through those nightmares
Each stare
Each dream
More intense
More desperate
Much stronger
Until a young will lost to an old fear
For a power like this comes with a price
And that's all he ever wanted
Her wish was only to defeat him
Through any sacrifice
Even her own humanity
In exchange to the very enemy
She lost it all
Insanity is never a kind sword
With the blood in her hands and her soul in his
The woman forgot her battles
Came to dance with the very thief
And drifted into silhouette
Oh he made her stronger
For the both believe they won
Alas unbeknownst she moves without a pulse
Forever dancing with that conceptual darkness
