THE MURDERESS TWINS!!

Slowly being pulled down into
a deep dark hole, trying hard
to shake the hold depression
has on me,

holding tightly by my finger tips
to the precipice of this  infinite
blackness.


then from deep inside this
surrounding darkness
I hear a cry for help,

for a moment I think the cry for
help came from me. But no, it
is Depression calling its twin
brother despair,

I look up and dirt is being thrown
down on me,

Despair smiles down at me, and
I begin to think that there is no
chance of survival,

suddenly a smooth soft voice says,
why bother, you know my brother's
are very strong, so just let go and it
will be all over.

Listen to our sister Suicide; she is
only trying to help you.

I begin to contemplate, how easy it
would be to let go, but in my mind
I hear,

Is it really easier to let go, or is it
better to live with hope?

Suicide screams at its cousin Sense,
why do you intervene, your sister Hope
has abandoned  him!!

My daughter never has abandon
anyone, you murderers have
hidden him in this deep dark hole.

Release him NOW!! Mother reason
exclaims.

I begin to feel hope pouring down on
me, soothing and calming me.

I feel myself being pulled up by powerful
arms, it is Life the brother of Death,
pulling me back into the light.

Death sneers at his children, you have
failed me again!!
