Depression's Grip

Twisting, tightening, knoting my insides.
Squeeching, wailing, gnawing my ears.
Blur, isolation, black clouds everywhere.

Sinking under, being sucked adown.
Swirling, twirling, with no control.
Ticking, tocking, time just goes.

Drip, drop, my leaking eyes.
Crick, crack, my broken heart.
Fogged sights, where am I?

Invisable powers, I'm nowhere.
An empty shell, I'm nobody.
In your dreams, I'm happy.

Mumble, grumble, do you hear?
Sighs, cliches, do you care?
Damaged goods, I'm a nuisance.

Burning head, thoughts are on fire.
Twisting, turning, sleepless nights.
Blahdy, blahdy, it's all the same.
