Escaping The Depths Of Depression

by Charlotte   Nov 29, 2004


Inside of this frail body of mine there lives a little girl
So innocent and pure untouched by this terrible world
All day long she tries to free herself from the depths of depression
But it holds her down with its chains so tight around her weakening body
She cries out to the heavens above for she knows not why
Why she must be hidden inside this shell of a fading girl
All she ever wanted was to be free again like she use to be
To laugh and play the days away with her friends and loved ones
I’ve tried so hard to release her from this prison they call my body
Whether its through my crimson rivers that flow so swiftly down my wrists
Or the clear droplets that fall so silently every night soaking my pillow
But I have failed her yet again I can not undo these chains that hold her captive
That suffocate her now dying body and it’s all my fault
How could I let this demon grow so much and take control
How could I let it kill the little girl that lives inside of me
