Falcon2001 Posted July 18, 2002 Report Posted July 18, 2002 I realize that my latest two haven't been very good, so hopefully this one'll be better. Even though it doesn't rhyme. It's about a spiraling descent into depression I just went through as I was writing this, and my subsequent rise to sanity again. Soaring gently on a cloud Looking down at earth below Seeing all the people march Off to daily life Smiling and happy in the sky Nothing to worry me about I'm filled with happiness and joy Like never before An inverted sunbeam caught A broken dream in subtle form which got me by the sleeve and Drug me deep down Plummet back to places known My old haunts, depression alley Where my inner demons feed On my precious joy They held me down and splashed The sorry wine of sorry of me The fermented lies of all my days Flowing down my back I tried to fight but couldn't start Depression was so comforting A place to stay, warm sheets To slowly die in Despair came then and held me close Whispering comforting lies to me I looked deep into her wicked eyes And saw my fate Then I stood on sagging limbs And threw myself out of the window A mockery of suicide, but neccesary Escape from Hell As I fell I heard my fate keen It whispered in my inner self It spilled the spoiled innards of My sins within I fell up towards the heavens And there I saw my cloud waiting I landed on it gently enough And was happy Cioden Darkeye Quill-Bearer - The Pen is Mightier than the Sword President of the Peredhil Fan Club Owner of the Reply Raven - Enemy to all those who never post responses Ashaman - WoT - Blitz II Council - The Hunters - Blitz II Leisure Officer - SFV Ultima - Beta
Guest Mira Posted July 18, 2002 Report Posted July 18, 2002 I haven't gotten the chance to read your last two, but if they were half as good as this one they must have been great. Good Job!! All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. "Give Peace a chance" -John Lennon-
Gyrfalcon Posted July 19, 2002 Report Posted July 19, 2002 *Gyrfalcon applauds* A good poem, Falcon, I enjoyed reading it. You gave it that triumpant note as you stepped free of your despair and rose back to happiness- good work!
