Lost Feather: Depression.

by Marta   Sep 22, 2004


I'm the darkened angel
Who's wings are tore
I wish I could fly again
Like once, I did before.

In my isolated prison
I wish to be free
To kill the monster
Inside of me.

Under the covers
Maybe you'll find
A magical feather
I had left behind.

That belonged to me
It felt complete
Made me satisfied
With something sweet.

But I've lost that feather
And now I can't find
Where I once left it
Somewhere inside.

If my self-esteem
Ever comes back
I'll again, welcome it
It was all I lacked.

And if depression leaves
I'd be glad to say goodbye
And I'll never forget
The night I almost died.

So I'll keep cutting
And become obsessed
Please just go away
And stop with the questions.

I don't have friends
Like you have them
Leave me alone
I'm yet to condemn.

Hatred burns in my eyes
One thing I have yet to kill
Maybe it's just the pain
Who cares... I have my will.

So I'll sit here and wait
Maybe I'll look one day
To see if that feather
Is under my pillow today..
