Are you breaking out
Or are you checkin out
Self destruction/Is passion misdirected
Thats what its all about
My walk’s uphill from here on out
Energy burning inside of me
I’ve got doubts/Tryin’ to let it out
Drowning in self-inflicted misery
Silence fuels agony / Pain finds a place to grow
Eats me alive/These chains
Vicious cycles got me so low
Wake up, (wake up) Turn on the lights.. Time to bail this merry go round. When life is jail and what you found quit that life before it brings you down Memories play in the theatre of my mind Stop/fast forward/don’t hit rewind Whats left / when things run out You’ll find out what its about No pain no gain / Let go Progression is futile when you dont Searching for control Drugs wont let anger flow Oppression has never been control Channel the storm/cloud your head Wake up/stay in bed In a haze/Miss the lesson Self-sabotage in your depression
These the second poem that I’ve read today dealing with depression..each poem provide such insight into that feeling…thank you for sharing this.
This is the kind of ragged stanza poem that hooks me. Its not just expressing your feelings but morphs into a positive outlook by the end! Surprisingly, a lot of people can’t do this well. Great work man!
I just reread your comment
Thank you again ….
Wow, thank you to both slpmartin and Mike DiMare…
Reading these comments reminds me why writing is meaningful. I’m glad you could find solace here.
