ECCEDENTESIAST

Depression seeking favor with a threat
Trying hard to suppress through ones excruciating breathe
Hiding every bit of it, with the incisors wide open
Withholding it from escaping the coven.

Walking every time like a fool
Being at grief right from school
In a world 🌏 full of wicked pools
Where betrayal rules
And authenticity becomes a false proof.

Souls have been led astray
Many a time, it was betrayed
Like a titanic drill
Boring every corner of its reel

Here emerge an obscure Island
Walking alone in its motherland
Giving every convincing smile with its incisors
Going back home, to meet its oppressors
Who in return drag him in weird display
Like a hyena, ready to devour its prey
Without any resistance
One tries so hard to let go, yet it came with so much persistence

For how long will one let this be
Always crying silently to be set free
Keeping the burden all alone to oneself
And saying, it's okay to the spree

The world don't know how one's world is, when in danger
And every impressional smile makes them feel, he is a ranger
In deep despair
One chooses to ravage oneself in rampage
Tears 😭 flowing each day forming an ocean of fear
A place where no one cares
Here one swims in its despair
Pleading to be set free, to be taken out for repair

Depression smiles mischievously for its accomplishment
Like a serpent in its deceitfulness
Using its venomous sword 🤺 to pierce one's heart
Leaving ones world in regret

Giving the right to emancipation is made void
Whilst being entangled in the doom of frustration is paranoid
Yet when one comes out, in the presence of all Heads
He appears brighter in countenance
He act as if nothing ever happened
Here he comes
