We Are the River

I, withered and broken Exist between the sun and moon The storm within thyself Collapses thine blighted mind Fall! Fall as the sands turn Herculaneans, discard thine hope Abhor the will to live Descend into darkness Solitude creeping Shaken by silence The shroud of apathy Imposing its will A pale existence A sulfuric heart Fragmented cortex Reveries of the dark

Wandering quietly Through valleys of shattered hope My past lingers within Over and over Why must this endless cycle Blur my conscious mind? Toxins corrupt my heart And I weep forevermore (Excerpt from Stephen Ilardi's "Depression is a disease of civilization" speech at TEDxEmory) "We were never designed... We were never designed for this. We were never designed for a sedentary, indoor, socially isolated, sleep-deprived, fast food-laden frenzied pace of modern life.

Tendrils of swirling morosity Embrace my vessel Rain pours, deafening Beams of light don't project Faltering hope The distance grows Aligned with none but the stars The falls have frozen Destitute and cold An inner monologue Soothes the pain of silence Malicious neurology Unyielding, unwavering A pendulous war within Where has my heart gone? And what is the purpose?

Reparations for my past And make amends with those I've wronged Rekindle the flames from ash Between us once again Haunted by the ghost I was My demons encapsulate me Journeying to peace at last So my heart may rest Reflecting in the mirror I refuse to be pinned down Taking the road less traveled I will conquer all Determined and unwavering I will be born again The burden is mine alone Change must come from within The heart and mind are ruled by none You alone control your fate Your destiny is in your hands Go forth, rise up, and free your soul

Across the oaken path Unhindered by nature's vastness Carved within the valleys deep We are the river The ebb and flow Beyond the stars Effervescent breadth Of hemispheres We are the water We are the rocks We are the scars We are the river
