The Poems

Depression Treading Water
Old Friend My Love
Invisable Little Girl

Depression
It comes over me like a fog
I breathe it in
It fills my body, I can feel it
Creeping to the ends of my limbs
Taking root in my heart like a weed
It drops a veil over my eyes
Lights are dimmer now, colors dull
I see everything in a haze
The cloud settles around my brain
Enclosing it in gray
Thoughts are heavy and slow now
Nothing is clear, nothing makes sense
My head throbs with it
Lastly it encases my mouth
Lips are dry and sticky now
My jaw clamps tight as a vice
Against the words swimming on my tongue
Help me

Treading Water
Oh my body aches
fight the fatigue
keep kicking, keep treading
I stretch my neck
to hold my head
above the waves
that splash against my lips
salty drops of fear
keep fighting, keep swimming
in a heart-pounding arrhythm
eyes strain to find a buoy
but are burned by harsh sun
my chest is tight with pain
I close my eyes against the hot light
and slip under

Old Friend
Old Friend,
Do you recall
All the laughter,
Our secret inside jokes,
Touching moments,
When we shared our concern,
Plain old fun
In sweet childish innocence?

Dear Friend,
I miss you now.
Years and distance seperate us.
My heart still knows your name,
My soul remembers your touch,
And cries for it again.
My tired mind turns over
The memories once more.

Best Friend,
I need you know.
My heart is cold;
It craves your warmth.
I want more time,
More moments to share.
Please hear me cry,
Old Friend.

My Love
God designed us for one another
Each one less without the other
Our souls are meant to be together
We are bound by chains and tether
Puzzles are solved when we join minds
Mysteries and lies are left behind
Holes are filled when we join hearts
Pray we'll never be pulled apart
Thanks to the Father who made us one
He sees all when we see none.

Invisable
I think I am invisable
For people look right past me
They do not ever see me
And they can't hear my voice

I just might be invisable
Can't do a thing at all
My life's so very small
There's nothing to rejoice

I know I am invisable
I feel incased in glass
This wall I can't surpass
And I have lost my voice

Little Girl
Little girl
I hope you'll understand
That although I'm not the world's best mom
I did the best I can

Little girl
I hope you'll grow to see
That although my life is full and tried
You mean the world to me

Little girl
I hope you will recall
That although some days are long and hard
I'd never let you fall

Little girl
I hope you always knew
That although I hurt, my heart is full
Because of love for you
