Depression's Slave (A Story in Three Acts)
Act I: The Parasite
A parasite in me has grown.
It coils around my heart.
And sits, nested deep in my mind.
I dare not speak it's name.
A hungry God masked a demon's face.
It tempted me from Eden.
And left me in this place.
Broken hearts--
Shattered dreams--
Darkness reigns--
My master calls. . .
I dare not speak his name. . .
I gave him my heart.
But he asked for my soul.
And so I gave it to him.
And it's name burns forever on my lips.
Like acid in my throat to say aloud.

Act II: The Host
Hearts shatter.
Dreams die.
Tears fall.
Angels cry.
Digging into my nerves
Wrapped around my spine
Nested in my chest
Burned into my mind
I am it’s host--
It is my captor--
I am it’s slave--
It is my master--
D e p r e s s i o n
Act III: The End
Broken heart--
Diseased mind--
Lost soul--
Scarred life--
Burn
Cut
Starve
Die
Crying tears--
Losing mind--
Burn
Cut
Starve
Die
Losing it. . .
Crying out. . .
To be saved--
To be brought back to life--
Burn
Cut
Starve
Die
Losing. . .
Crying. . .
