SHADOWS

Feeling trapped, mind gripped tight, depression's might Goliath in the dark, it's a never-ending fight World turned gray, my view obscured, losing sight On this journey now, seeking healing, taking flight Through the haze, I find solace, seeking sweet release In my emotions' depths, I'm chasing inner peace Sometimes turning to vices, weed and alcohol's allure But deep down, I know healing starts from within, for sure Depression's weight heavy, breaking through with might Rising from the ashes, strength found in the fight Reclaiming perspective, shedding pain's cruel stain Road to recovery, my spirit regains Thoughts tangled, mind trapped, labyrinthine strife Like Lake Shore Drive, journeying beyond space and time Double meanings woven, subtly referencing LSD Symbolizing transformation, voyage to set my mind free In self-discovery's haze, learning to release the hold No longer drowning, embracing what's bold The highs and lows, ups and downs, now realized Growth emerges when confronting our own lies Depression's weight heavy, breaking through with might Rising from the ashes, strength found in the fight Reclaiming perspective, shedding pain's cruel stain Road to recovery, my spirit regains No longer shackled by despair's chains, set free Charting a new path, leaving nightmares behind me Rebuilding piece by piece, phoenix taking flight Emerging from the darkest nights into the light Depression tried to hold me down, but I'm strong Gripped, I won't let it keep me bound for long Recovery's journey, testament to my will Reclaiming my life, rising up, standing still
