Too depressed To fly

Too depressed To fly

Smoking bud,  

Not getting high,  

Too depressed,  

I can't fly.  

Clouds surround,  

Thoughts collide,  

In the haze,  

I try to hide.  

Moments drift,  

But hope feels shy,  

Grounded here,  

I long to fly.  

Each puff taken,  

A fleeting try,  

But in this weight,  

I can’t deny.  

The world outside,  

A distant scene,  

Fading echoes,  

Of what could have been.  

Broken dreams,  

Like shattered glass,  

Reflecting pain,  

From the past.  

Silent screams,  

In the dead of night,  

A restless heart,  

That’s lost the fight.  

Fingers numb,  

From the bitter chill,  

Lost in shadows,  

Against my will.  

Time moves slow,  

A clock unwound,  

Counting moments,  

I can’t rebound.  

Ghosts of laughter,  

Haunt these walls,  

In the emptiness,  

The silence calls.  

Trapped in loops,  

Of thoughts I dread,  

Searching for peace,  

But finding dread.  

Drowning deep,  

In this endless sea,  

A hollow shell,  

Of who I used to be.
