bound by sorrow

I am bound by my sorrow,

My soul can no longer soar,

My artistic side resides in the dark,

No longer allowed to surface.

My happiness has run away,

It's gone and hidden itself

So that one day it may return,

On the glorious day that the chains of misery loosen their grip.

I'm struggling,

Trying to free myself from the depression that binds me.

But I have no such luck:

I am to be stuck here forever more,

Tumbling, falling into the darkness,

Never to be saved.
