It is Me
III Campfire - depression

This item accepts reviews only.
                                       Wasted in negativity,
                                       And wrapped within its warming cold,
                                       I rest in my proclivity,
                                       Watching time creep, while growing old;
                                       Negativity has its hold.

                                       I’m addicted to the habit
                                       And the habit looks just like me.
                                       The mirror reflects the template
                                       As I swing past it to see
                                       If the template can hear my plea.

                                       The carbon copy of myself
                                       Transferred onto the sheets of time,
                                       And the sheets pile up on the shelf
                                       Until time says it’s time to climb
                                       Out of the depths to the sublime.

                                       Knowing well the peak has no point,
                                       I fly to the slippery slope
                                       And there in this time I anoint
                                       The slippery slope with my hope
                                       While holding tightly to a rope.

                                       I hold for life while my hands freeze,
                                       Knowing that I'm going to fall.
                                       I squeeze but can’t hold the disease,
                                       And nobody can hear my call
                                       As I tumble into the pall.

                                       I hit the shelf with all the sheets
                                       Tearing down the times of before;
                                       As I crash through with more defeats
                                       My life scatters across the floor
                                       And I get up and lock the door.
