Depression, Dares you

It was such a test any person could quest
While searching the soul within;
To take the road that nobody chose
Was quite the perpetual sin.
But I took my chance, without second glance,
And decided to head down the road.

I settled to leave on midsummer's eve,
Though not knowing what paths lay before me
But much to my terror, I made such an error
Of picking the one full of trees.
They made such big phantoms as the wind played its anthem
But I wearily made my way through.


Yet this forest of grief, filled with new fallen leaf
Gave a chill from my head to my toes.
Just where to begin of what lay within
I'm sure that nobody knows.

The darkness closed as my heart froze

Body shaken with electric force

The knives sharp  as blood  lay bleeding

Skin crawled with terror
Of the fearful unknown
Shadows and sounds
Reached out with tangled webs

Mouths left gaping as if the heavens itself

Had opened up and let down upon my ears

Raven soar under the wings of untouchable phrases

Til each surrounding face is sodden with tears of beauty.

As I walked with closed eyes, hoping I wouldn't die
With every unknown step I took,
I thought of such things, such terrible things
The ones often found in great books
Of when the hero unknown, becomes all alone
Without his trusty guide;
But when I opened my eyes, they all became lies
As I found myself still standing inside.
