Weeks of Depression

October 26, 2013
By Anonymous

I am gone.
Gone like the Wind of last Saturday,
A hot, feverish feeling now settles over me,
Depression.

I am gone,
Like that butterfly you saw last Sunday,
Smashed into the pavement,
Depression.

I am gone,
Like that infant I heard about last Monday,
Buried in a two-foot casket,
Depression.

I am gone,
Like that house encased with flames last Tuesday,
Burnt to the ground,
Depression.

I am gone,
Like the light was on Wednesday,
Snuffed out by the clouds,
Depression.

I am gone,
Like the warmth was on Thursday,
Cold and icy,
Depression.

I am gone,
Because you left me on Friday,
Encouraged by sweet death,
Depression.

Don't focus on the BACK THEN, focus on the RIGHT NOW and the COMING UP. Those are the important things.

I just realized the whole point of my posting this as Anonymous was to keep people from knowing that I wrote this. I completely defeated the purpose of that when I replied to everyone's comments. Dang.
