Avert Your Eyes
This window
Is not for looking through
What it reveals
Is a darkness
Better left alone
There’s no light
In this place
Cold, barren
Deserted feelings
Lay on the dirty floor
Avert your eyes
This disease
Will draw in happiness
Leaving it
Ravaged
The image inside
A mere shadow
That dances
To the music
Of true despair
Look no more
Feel no pity
Or fate will take you too
Deny it
Or die
Is not for looking through
What it reveals
Is a darkness
Better left alone
There’s no light
In this place
Cold, barren
Deserted feelings
Lay on the dirty floor
Avert your eyes
This disease
Will draw in happiness
Leaving it
Ravaged
The image inside
A mere shadow
That dances
To the music
Of true despair
Look no more
Feel no pity
Or fate will take you too
Deny it
Or die

A very poignant warning about the dangers of depression, AP. Very well written.

I try to deny it, but it hangs on, so I spill these now and again for my sanity
