What Do I Do?

December 27, 2012
By Anonymous

What do I do?
How do I stay above?
The hole I've dug myself out of grows wider and deeper, pulling me back in.
What do I do?
What can I do?
I feel lost, no one truly here to aid me.
Alone.
I lay, my legs over the hole,
I try to pull myself away, but its no use.
The ground beneath me opening up,
I struggle to get away but. . . .
But I take the plunge again.
What do I do?

I wrote this during the summer when I was falling back into my depression. I thought I had overcome it at least for the time being, but I was wrong.
