There Was That Time

• Artist: strawberryweed
• Description: I basically wrote this for a beloved friend of mine. I'm hoping that person will see this and realize who it's for. I'm saying that I once was in a depression but I willed myself to get out of it and my brother helped in his own way. He was a bit rough on me hence the statement I was kicked out of hell by him instead of the usual lending a hand thing. The ending of the poem is me realizing that people do care about me ect ect. I don't want to explain ore because it'll start to sound cliche.

There was that time
When everything was dark
And nothing would rhyme
At that time
The air was polluted
Water was rancid
And minds and feelings were deluded
Tears were automatic
The road I walked
Turned into a jagged mountain
The monster feeling that stalked
My emotions
Ran freely
Actions acted by themselves
Insanely
Though there were strings attached
Movement was labored and difficult
When I cut those strings
And tried to revolt
I fell
Deep down
Into that darkness
Every smile seemed to be a frown
Finally
I decided to give up
And just lay there in my own pile of misery forever
I had no will to live up
And recover
But then I saw
That brief flash of light
I looked at it in awe
In fright
I knew it wouldn't last long
I tried to reach for it, falling
I wished the time I had would prolong
I struggled
But in vain
I knew I couldn't reach it but I still tried
Tears or rain
I began to cry
But then a foot came out
And booted me through and above
My lip pulled into a pout
As I began to crumble
You caught me again
"Why?" I asked
"Because I'm your friend."
"If you are willing to try,"
"To pull yourself out of that darkness,"
"I am willing to help you to the best of my powers."
Out of the darkness
I was for the rest of my life
I could still feel it creep sometimes
But I push it away
I remembered the time
When I thought no one would help me
And I mattered nothing.
