It is tragic when depression wraps a person so tight with layers and layers of prickly wool. A person falls victim to that predator who distorts their lens and forges their vision seeing no way out.
lost in the darkness
never sees the right bend
veiled from the light
lost in the darkness
never thought there was help
suffering alone
never seeing the right bend
turned to the left
that cul-de-sac
veiled from the light
obscurity snickers
`til that last breath

Thank you and yes, so misunderstood how a person does not choose this end but too often is controlled by something we do not see but only they can feel.
