It's there...
Beneath the skin...
Hiding from the light of day...
Coursing through fragile veins
It can turn the comfortably sweetness of life sour
Seeping in through the cracks of abandonment
It hits without warning...
Digging deep into the depths of the soul
This invisible force carries such power
It steals through the living moments
Staining all happiness
Taking the will of life...
The voice to call out
And even the name we give our being fades...
Memories fail at remembrance
The final defense against invasion turns the tides
A war within breaks out
Feelings turn blind
Emotions run fast
The dull ache gambles with all that can be broken
The world pulls at tender skin
Tears fall from this newly worn mask
Trembling fingers wipe away tears
Hands reach out screaming
Boundaries drawn out of fear
Now become the walls built beyond the comprehension of sight
A prison of blackness...
A cage of depression...
Here at the edge
Time stops...
Feet barely hold their ground
The mirror within bares witness
A reflection of life in transition
Reality is existence...
Its in plain view...
The question now is...
Will you let it choose you?
Or consume you?
