Depression

Woke Up One Morning

(Slow, mournful blues guitar riff, a single, sustained note followed by a quick, sad phrase. A slow, shuffling drum beat and a deep, walking bassline join in.) (Verse 1) Woke up this morning, sun didn’t feel so bright Got a heavy feeling in my soul, and it’s dark...

Ghost In The Machine

(Driving rock guitar riff with a heavy, syncopated hip-hop drum beat) (Verse 1 – Rapper) Yo, the four walls closing in, a mental cage, no key to unlock My thoughts are moshing, a mosh pit on the clock The city’s a blur, a high-speed train off the track...

GETTING IT RIGHT?

The scale tips, always just a hair, Away from balance, tipped by air. I strive and strain, I bend and mold, A story left forever untold. Each effort launched, a hopeful flight, Descends too soon in fading light. The measured praise, a whispered breeze, Lost in the rustling...

Lost in a Labyrinth

A maze of doubt, a tangled mind, Where every step feels undefined. Each word I speak, a stumbling block, Each deed I do, a heavy lock. My thoughts, a labyrinth, dark and deep, Where shadows creep and secrets sleep. I search for light, a guiding hand, But lost...

Battle Within

Beneath the surface, calm I try to feign, A steady heartbeat, but a tremor in my vein. The looming surgery, a shadow in my mind, Where hope and fear in constant battle bind. Will anesthesia hold, will I wake anew? A million questions whispered, tinged with blue. The...

Nightmare

In the hush of night, the same scene unfolds, A labyrinthine path, both chilling and cold. I wander its twists, with a heart full of dread, Searching for answers, forever unfed. The shadows that lengthen, the whispers that creep, A chorus of voices in slumber too deep. I...

PROVE THEM WRONG

A seed they said, in barren ground, No chance to bloom, no hope to be found. A whispered doubt, a pitying frown, But deep within, a fire burned down. The whispers grew, a chorus strong, “Give it up,” their voices throng. But roots dug deep, where shadows lie,...

Alone And Misunderstood

Trapped within this shell, a world I cannot touch, A mind ablaze with dreams, a body that moves so much. Isolated by silence, unseen tears I cry, Misunderstood whispers, a constant questioning why. The walls become my canvas, the window shows the race, A world in vibrant motion,...

Firestorm

A searing storm beneath the skin, A constant, burning, buzzing din. Nerves ablaze, a frantic plea, For even fleeting vacancy. Each breath a spark, a touch a flare, The gentlest breeze feels harsh and bare. The world a blur, a muted hush, As fiery tendrils writhe and crush....

THOUGHTS

The shadow of mistakes, a constant blight, Each step I take, a stumble in the night. A symphony of errors, discordant and deep, Where every triumph, a fleeting, fragile sleep. The weight of judgment, a crushing, heavy hand, On every choice, a self-imposed command. To meet a standard,...
