Depression

A series of analogies

I'm a rock

A heavy rock

Moving is hard

Being soft is impossible

I'm a tiger

Without teeth or claws

People pity me

I just wanted to be stronger

I'm a piece of paper

Flying away

I can't stop the wind

I wanna get off

I'm a waterfall

Endlessly going down

Who knows where it ends?

I don't wanna know

I'm a prison

Everything locked inside

It's overcrowded here

But I don't have the keys

If I could find someone

Someone to make me feel

Someone to train me

Someone to grab me

Someone to tell me

Someone to give me the keys.

Author's Note

This is the longest one I've written!
The last line of each verse connects with a line of the last verse.

[hello there]

this one really tugged my heart. i relate to this in so many ways; the analogies are beautifully written, and i can really feel pain and heartache as i read on. well done!

[Trouble]

This is really good Silver, keep it up!

[Silver]

Thank you, Allie! I read it aloud alone in my room, and really liked the emotion I put into it, so it would be great if I could perform it live.

[Trouble]

Yes! The emotion is what makes writing good or bad.
