My night is dreary, my thoughts are dim,
I cringe on the possibility of yet another sin.
Pondering the inevitable soon to be,
yet wanting to hasten it’s oncoming, you see.
I’m teetering on the tip of madness,
entrenched in the depth of sadness.
Depression has found me once too often,
gazing at cold faces laid out in coffins.
Life’s blue truth reap soft, sweet sayings,
as I kneel to my God while praying.
The rivers calm before the storm lie still,
as my heart song bequeaths a sudden chill.
Over the rainbow, cast ore the sea, many trails
to journey, find a glowing light in tranquility.
A new beginning, forgotten pain,
let me thrive in the valley of hope once again.
My freedom will nere come upon this earth,
I’m screaming in desperation for a rebirth.
Have I squandered this gift of earthly life,
ready to end it with the steel blade of a knife.
Hence forth, I beg of you forgive me,
if forgiveness is what must be.
Let me wrap myself in a shimmering veil,
as I walk triumphantly to the light of a new tale.
