Drowning beneath a deep lake The loyal friend I never meant to make A promise I don't want to keep Darkness in which I cannot sleep
Dull, aching, neverending pain Shadows no light can chase away The crushing depth, the heart's bane A night that never slips to day
Even in light I cannot see Even in warmth I grow cold Chains from which I will never break free A part of a story never told
Joy and love and kindness, forever dull Eyes that burned bright and full Now dim and cold, the spark's gone And all's left is the hope of dawn
Depression often feels like a crushing weight, like being deep underwater. It's something I have struggled with for a few years now, though having Suiro and our friends around does help. I painted this in a few hours after a particularly bad bout.
