Depression IV

By ColorMeToxic

Fog rolls over,
making everything,
look like a sea of nothing...
and I pass through,
terrified.
Will I ever find
the other side?
I'm blind.
Feeling my way through,
the abyss...
I stumble and fall.
and I fall
and I fall...
but I keep getting back up.
The fog will eventually dissipate
and I will see clearly again.
I have to continue getting up
until then.
I have to admit there are times when I feel...it's impossible to heal.
