In darkness deep, where shadows play,
Depression's talons seize their prey.
Beneath the waves, I'm dragged below,
A suffocating undertow.
With every gasp, I fight in vain,
As sorrow's grip tightens the chain.

Looking for reasons
To keep fighting these demons.

Heavens, I need a hell forsaken drink.

As in these inky waves I begin to sink,

Soaking in the salty scented seas:

The Grieving
24 Jun 2024
"Twas the night before the Grieving,
Not an eye was left un-weeping:

I’m just trying to be a daughter
To a father and my mum,

If we follow what is true!
