Living with the fire
Kura Farr

Grab here, step there
Don’t slip
One mistake and I’d fall
Back to rock bottom
Must keep climbing
Must keep going
Back up the rabbit hole
But it takes so long
And now I’m back
To square one

On the good days
Everything is light
Everything makes sense
I can breathe easy
And trust myself
My mind does not lie
And little things can bring
A smile to my face
Until one day
They don’t

Down, down, down
Down the rabbit hole
Tumbling, spinning, turning
Twisting thoughts
Whispered lies
Darkness descending
STOP
stop
please stop
Crawl back out

One step at a time

Some days are good
Most days are bad
My consent
Life with depression
My brain tells lies
My heart listens
It is difficult to distinguish
What is
The Truth
What is
A Lie
