Somewhere a Tree Has Fallen

Somewhere a Tree Has Fallen

I can make no apology
If you choose to aknowlage me
My life feels like long term pathology
Darkness is callin' me

Darkness is always callin'

I can not understand these beings
These wretched things
Cannibals, all of these wild animals
Playing at wild sophistication
With only mild domestication
Self segregation, from the rest of the animal nation

Somewhere a tree has fallen

Just barely passing as one of their kind
Wishing I could return to mine
Wating here for them to find
Amidst the dimwitted unkind

The wood is cut and stacked, ready for hualin'

Marching ever onward, reluctant, but worn down
Broken and forgotten, feet dragging on the ground
I protested when I was young, but now I don't bother to make a sound
Seems I will never be found

The hammer strikes the nail as hungery worms continue crawlin'

Brake me, stake me or bake me
I don't care how I go
Don't wait for my consent
If you want me to jump then make me
Don't worry, I'm not sure I was ever real
So just discard this fake me

The box is built, shiny and new, no more time for stalin'

A few square feet of dirt await me
Somewhere, letting peace and silence bait me
The cold ground wants to take me
The other side wants to wake me

And at the graveside I hope to see no one crying or bawlin'
The peaceful darkness was always callin'
And I was always fallin'
So just let the ground have me forever walled in

I used be into depression but I no longer want anything to do with it
i spend all my time thinking positively or sure I have moments but it don't last the good had won
Depression is the dark side the side no one discusses anyway I don't visit any longer your poetry is excellent
But I would not trade a thousand tomorrow's for the dark side angel

Dark poetry like this is about letting others know that they are not alone. You do whats best for you, but I'm going to share whats in my heart at any given moment in hopes that someone will feel a bit less hopeless and alone Knowing that others are surviving through the same issues.

I can understand where your coming
From but you got understand where I am at as well I refuse to letĀ 
Depression ruin my
life I am glad you can express yourself well so can IĀ 
lets just leave it at that I am not imposing myself on your
On opinions or attitudes
Visa versa so let's wave the white flag angel I wrote what I think as we'll
As far as issues go I have a few of my own.
