Journey

An attempt at describing depression

Journey

By Sally Austin



How did I end up here in this dark, forsaken place?

Why do I feel so out of place?

Alone in my plight, the demons knaw at my soul. 

Trying to destroy me, to keep me from reaching my goal. 

I find myself naked and exposed, trapped in the abyss of my own consiousness. 

My soul drowning, and gasping it's last breath.

The only thing I feel awaits me is death.

In this wilderness, where I am in distress.

Where I feel that I sould take my last breath.

I feel I am being torn asunder.

But,I trudge on, I will not surrender.

I will struggle with all my might.

My life I will set right.

I feel this day should be my last.

I have learned from the past.

That lifes' journey isn't always a blast.

This darkness that surrounds me will pass.

And I will know I'm one tough lass.
