A Prayer of Depression

I'm lost here in the darkness, I cannot seem to see I know I'm in here somewhere if I can just find me

Don't know quite how I got here, I was not here before There's got to be an exit, but I can't find the door

In here there are no colors, just things in black and white There isn't any sunlight, just one long lasting night

In here its oh so lonely, there's no one to be found I need someone to help me, there's just emptiness all around

I've never been this scared before, with no place I could run I miss my world of laughter, my happiness, my fun

My mind paints me a picture of happy days gone by The picture looks so faded, I just hang my head and cry

What happened to my great big smile? Its now become a frown I once held my head so high, but now I just look down

Here I don't need anything; No calendar, no clock Things are at a stand still, time has seemed to stop

I have to find my way back out, somehow, somewhere, some way And when I get back to my world, there I want to stay

God, please help me get there! Its there I long to be Please take my hand, and lead me, and always stay with me. by: Nita Lynn (Rainyday-Lady) Member: National Famous Poets Society 1996-1999
