Stach-dsw Contest Episode 9 --- "Depression—The Dark Lonely Road"
Original Image was Gotten from Pxhere, Current Picture is a modification made by me
I was at the end
Millimetres from the crossing tape
I had come so far alone
I had walked this road all on my own
The pain was my guide
I was lost in her wholeness
And she comforted me with her fullness
It was time to take the final step with her, walk past this tape and fly
I wondered who would miss me
My brother, my mother, my friends, I couldn’t help but wonder
I was tired of the challenges and pain which came over and over again and refused to go
I had fought, but my loss was already set in stone
What do you want from me?
I screamed as I asked the very air I breathe
Do you want my soul or you just brought me here to watch me mourn
Was this a silly game I wondered, was someone watching me in pain and having fun
First, he left
For years I was scarred and couldn't love any more
Then she wept
And for the following years I couldn't help but be the man even more
But I was too young to face this
I was a man before I turned eighteen
I had to learn how the world work, be responsible, be a father, even before I turned thirteen
My path, my dream was all written for me, there was no room to miss
I followed this dream and now I’m here
Trying and failing, but mostly it was all failing
Then success came in the form of a dream I dared
But wait, it failed again, maybe I am the lord of failing
Now I’m worse than I was when I began
Feeling my world closing in
I feel the life been sucked from me
I want it to end, I want to live and be free, but Naaah
Life has other plans for me
So I put Lana del Ray on repeat
A touch of Aurora and her mind twisting beat
I drowned in the lyrics losing my breath
I drowned in my head wishing I was dead
I woke back up gasping for air
I guess life wasn’t done with me
So now I’m in tears
I want it to end, but I guess I just can’t will it be
I’m at the end now, I’ve been standing here
Wandering If I should take a step slower as the car approached from my rear
I guess I'm too afraid, I should preserve
Or maybe life has something else to teach me, maybe I should just give this a year!!!
