An Encounter with Depression and Fear

Random threads dangle from memory's web,
And the spider of my thoughts appears confused,
Her spinnerets repeating words unsaid,
As she crawls across the window of my mind.

As depressions night advances toward morning,
I must endure apprehensions blade,
As I listen for the clanging warning,
That seemingly unfounded fears are true.

A red light appears in the distance,
As my fears harden like cooling wax,
To overcome fear's pain requires persistence,
Requires more then a spider's silken shield.
