Dark Depression

standing on the edge of a precipice 

darkness looms from deep within 

depression is pulling her down

sending shivers across my skin!

many question run through her mind

what decision with become reality

is continued life worth holding on to

or will she be a statistical fatality 

a tear running slowly down cheek

emotions are running very high

indicating how this moment feels

step back and live or jump and die!

darkness is calling from deep down 

beckoning the end of great pain

offering eternal peace from loneliness

not to accept it would be insane!
