Depression

There are times when the beating of a lonely heart echoes off the walls of silence and bounce back as a sinister laughter.

You question decisions already made,

And they play in one long endless loop, assaulting your psyche.

You underestimated and overestimated at the same time trying to make logic out of illogical feelings. Sitting alone in a barren wasteland, among thieves and murderers endlessly wandering searching for home.

Dreading those moments when the darkness saps the strength of your body and soul.

A soldier deeply wounded praying for the warmth of a loving embrace to dry life's rain from their shoulders.

A kind voice telling you that everything will be ok,

even if its a lie...
