Dark Deeps

Staying awake is difficult

Sleeping is impossible

Inhaling is restricted

Exhaling unimaginable

Dwelling thoughts

Reacquiring anxiety

Tired body

Exhausted mind

Stuck in a depressing circle

Consuming your life

Destroying your will

to survive

It’s in these dark deeps

where you find comfort

You become numb

from all the pain

New Born

Your voice is crystal clear.

It awakes me from

what I thought

was an eternal slumber.

You made me the powerful

beast I am today.

Proud and strong

I hold you in my arms.

You inspire me to

be my very best.

Now I am complete.

In mind, body and soul.

Air

You’re like the air

I breathe in.

You fill my swollen lungs

And sooth my aching body.

You’re like the air

I feel on my skin.

You calm my nervous mind

And give my soul rest.

You’re like the air

I keep within.

You pick me up from depressing deeps

And lift me to higher hopes.
