Cloudy Despair

[Falcon2001]

I realize that my latest two haven't been very good, so hopefully this one'll be better. Even though it doesn't rhyme. It's about a spiraling descent into depression I just went through as I was writing this, and my subsequent rise to sanity again.

 

 

Soaring gently on a cloud

Looking down at earth below

Seeing all the people march

Off to daily life

 

Smiling and happy in the sky

Nothing to worry me about

I'm filled with happiness and joy

Like never before

 

An inverted sunbeam caught

A broken dream in subtle form

which got me by the sleeve and

Drug me deep down

 

Plummet back to places known

My old haunts, depression alley

Where my inner demons feed

On my precious joy

 

They held me down and splashed

The sorry wine of sorry of me

The fermented lies of all my days

Flowing down my back

 

I tried to fight but couldn't start

Depression was so comforting

A place to stay, warm sheets

To slowly die in

 

Despair came then and held me close

Whispering comforting lies to me

I looked deep into her wicked eyes

And saw my fate

 

Then I stood on sagging limbs

And threw myself out of the window

A mockery of suicide, but neccesary

Escape from Hell

 

As I fell I heard my fate keen

It whispered in my inner self

It spilled the spoiled innards of

My sins within

 

I fell up towards the heavens

And there I saw my cloud waiting

I landed on it gently enough

And was happy

I haven't gotten the chance to read your last two, but if they were half as good as this one they must have been great. Good Job!!

 

All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

*Gyrfalcon applauds* A good poem, Falcon, I enjoyed reading it. You gave it that triumpant note as you stepped free of your despair and rose back to happiness- good work!
