To All Those I’ve Hurt

What can I do, to escape my despair;
when depression takes control?
I feel nothing, but emptiness, everywhere;
while sorrows inhabit my soul.

I sense a cloud; surrounding my being;
the background becomes my home;

One Step From Eternity

In depression; I looked upon a world, below;
tempted to leave life’s fraternity;
in my thoughts; I had no other place to go;
poised, one step from eternity.
