Survivor of Depression
Today the sun returned to my sky
In a long forgotten splendor of light
Presenting me once more with time
Replacing lethargy with lustful fight
The light had been stolen callously
Darkness swallowed my spirit whole
Endless nights without stars or moon
Had gripped and held my very soul
Time meant nothing but an eternal need
To silently implode with my own misery
Screaming inside but to others it seemed
I languished in a bland kind of apathy
Then the sun returned to greet me today
Painting colors so bright it hurt my eyes
Furnishing my world with time once again
Hope fluttered inside like lost butterflies
Night shares its place once more with the day
My spirit once weary embraces the light
The embers of depression are dying away
Cooled by the wings of my soul in flight.
