Caught in a web

I suffer from longterm depression and I decided to turn some of my feelings and thoughts into a poem.

I'm caught in a web with no escape,

desperately fighting to survive.

My energy runs out and my spirit wavers,

heart is racing and tears are falling.

 

My strength is gone and I stop struggling,

my mind surrenders and I close my eyes.

My thoughts drift away to another world,

where the sun shines bright and I'm still flying.

 

I'm caught in a web with no escape,

no longer fighting to survive.

My conjured world rips apart reality,

I forget all that is and needs to be.

 

Not searching for strength and no wish to struggle,

my mind is no longer my own.

The darkness invades and my world turns cold,

no sun is shining and I'm flying no more.

 

I'm caught in a web with no escape,

huddled up and hanging by a thread.

I'm feeling so tired and only wish to sleep,

to rid myself of this pain and never wake again.
