depression – Noellie's Place

Colors in a jar

My heart does not agree

It breaks at what has been shown

As a canopy spread over delicate leaves

wilting growth reached for speckled light

finding its way through

BE SOMEONES LIGHT INSTEAD OF EXTINGUISHING YOUR OWN.

When will you purge the past that cultivates and nurtures deadly mold?

Staring at ghosts through a phantom window
Unwilling to turn away
Allowing the air to be taken from room

What-if’s begin to tip the scales of reality

Fear takes control and starts to breathe

Look past the leather wings and claws

The barking guard dog has no bite

Surviving eternal consequences has no end

Alone you stand on the step

Longing to be taken as you fight to stay alive

The Land of the Living is where life beckons to you

You hold a candle and fresh wick

I have an eternal flame
