Depression

I’m being pulled under
Slowly
Painfully
The light is fading and it’s getting
Dark
Darker
My insides are
Dying
But
It doesn’t show
I smile
But
I’m really not smiling
My heart is
Heavy
And
Weighing
Me
Down
I have
No
Control of what is happening
I fight
But
It’s a
Losing
Battle
I fight anyway
My mind is on an amusement park ride
The ride slows down
But
Never
Stops
Then it
Closes
For the season
So that
Repairs
Can be made
