Save Me

By Crimson Shade

I struggle to regain consciousness,
As I attempt to silence the alarm,
The night has not been kind it seems,
Once more I bear the scars of depression.

Head in hands, I scour my broken mind,
All I find is a tear filled photo album,
Depression’s grip is a strangle hold,
Just reach out and take my hand.

I drag myself out of my self-pity,
As I begin my daily deception to those who care,
I wash away my scars and the water runs red,
Hoping for the night to be kind… just for once.

“Save me one more time my friend, just reach out and take my hand” – Panic Cell.
