The Drop

The Drop

Here it comes, darkness again
deaths blanket shrouding my brain
smothered senses, clouded mind
dragging me down, vision is blind


Lethargy reigns, it rains in my head
apathy rules, I'm better off dead
can't keep living this sorrowful way
this is no life, dreading each day


What can I do to rid this terrible pain?
pills, potions, doctors? always the same
these are no cures, I want to be free
free from suffering appointed to me


Why am I like this? just me to blame?
personal nightmares, torturous shame
wish I could smile, laugh out loud
rejoin the world, be a part of the crowd


My blackened emotions may never abate
constantly bleeding, my character trait
I'll just live here, tearful and strained
wishing for sun instead of this rain


I can still hope, possibly one day
the chilling darkness will lift away
then I could live, be a person again
leave behind the coldness and pain


Here's to the dream, may it happen for me
if not today, tomorrow maybe?
so I'll carry on and live for this time
time when I can laugh, be happy and shine
