Depression Struggle

Today a desperate feeling arises from the deepest corner of my soul

All the bright and cheerful colors become dull as the aggressive smoke snakes coil around my mind and ankles

Coiling harder with each ticking of the clock

I fight the indigo depression as it bites hard

I shiver and loathe the feeling

Trying to break free of the shackles that bind my heart

The green snakes consume the smokey black ones as if starved

I writhe and prance in a frenzied manner to the blaring music only I know and can hear

It takes a moment then the chains break and my heart and mind are free once more.
