To my unconquering depression that silenced my prayers.
Death was upon the Lords ears,
as my words of forgiveness remained insignificant.
My souls moaning
like the ghost that haunted Al Capone.
Uninviting depression darkens the complexion
of my mental capacity.
Physiologically lonely
like a playground covered in a blizzard
on the coldest night of winter.
My skin doesn’t shiver
from coldness of my depression
but the thermometer
on my heart detects
iciness.
Alone and trapped in a flourishing mansion
while the soul remains homeless
as the roof
levitates in the tornado winds.
My lungs collapsing in the flood of stagnation.
My eyes are the peep hole
into my soul.
You lurking for the promise land
but the gravity of hell
pulled you into my charcoal
where the broken windows
outsourcing the poison,
camouflaged as antibiotics
that plummets from dark clouds
and overcrowded tiny ounces of righteousness.
Soul gradually freezes from coldness.
Banging on the door of paradise
screaming “please let me out”
but voice echoes to the other side
where everything inside remains hollow.
Not only is the voice in this clearly heard, it’s also an excellent play on words. Thanks for sharing!
