I Am Depressed

Everyday, I yearn to dance by the ocean, full of tranquility and serenity. I yearn to close my sultry eyes and listen to the gentle waves that would brush against my ankles. I have yet to open my eyes and find my inner peace; my freedom from the storms of turmoil and this belligerent world.

Yet I’m left in a desolated forest, stranded, cold and alone, waiting to seek the last spark of solace that would bring me peace amid the storm. Steel, grey clouds of uncertainty have always obscured my vision from seeing the luminous light. My thoughts soon became hand-cuffed prisoners detached from life, yearning for freedom. Anxiety, fears and uncertainty took over and wrapped their hands around my mouth, as my trembling breaths have lost its rhythms. I have lost myself and began to shuffle in a world as dark as the dead of night. I am sick and tired of feeling this way.
