Not your typical Holiday Tale

A Holiday Tale

The silence of the saddened soul
Falls as the festive trees glow
The twinkle of the holiday cheer
For many brings only fear
Depression finds them with the night
Shorter days and Christmas lights
Like snowflakes they fall down
A blanket on the frozen ground
Don’t worry about your winter coat
Just slip your head in the hangman’s rope
