The Tree Of Words.

Bondage...

This a poem I used in a book I'm writing. And I thought I should post it here too.

Seems like I'm slowly slipping into depression,

Stretched to the point of disintegration,

I can't find my bearings,

I can't ignore these feelings.

The hurt, the pain, the shame,

It feels like it's the same,

The pleasure, the happiness,

All fade into nothingness.

My heart aches to feel something,

Anything but this blank feeling,

A little hapiness, a tiny ray of hope,

But it seems my heart is bound in ropes.

It feels like I'm in too deep,

And try as hard as I can to leap,

The forces binding me are too strong,

I've been held down far too long.

I would forever be bound by these cords.
