sick sanity

 
silence crept around me on my darkened days
struggling to feel alive
when my body just wanted to give up

I look on as the world continued with its machine
the sun was shining people were on their way two and froe
I sat on my deck watching feeling too bad to participate

depression set in and I retreated inside myself
curled inward my only defense
negative thoughts circled and I hurt

clawing my way across the yard
lungs wheezing and congested I ache
I made it to the garden but it wasn't the same

everything beautiful looked pretty to mock my state
I took in the lovely and felt isolated in the pain

I'm better today I seek entrance
the day welcome her sick child
back to her bossom
