Tentacles of Depression

I walk down the busy, city streets
I walk with a strut,
And with sunglasses over my eyes
I walk confidently
To hide my array of wounds
To disguise my list of broken dreams
Tears come to my eyes
I sniff them back
Not for a second can I appear weak
I look at an overflowing garbage can,
Overgrown gardens,
And a carcass of a magotty bird
(I wish it was mine)
But I realize
I'm stuck in this s***
For another seventy years
I wish I could end it,
But like when I was 12
My love for my mother
Prohibits me from doing so
Sometimes I wish she wouldn't love me
Cars buzz past me
How easy it would be
To throw myself in front of them
And end it all,
But I shake my head
Then my body starts to shake
As the tentacles of depression
Reach out and pull me into their lair
And somehow I manage
To limp home
Amid the feelings
Amid the empty void in my stomach
I paste a smile on my face
.......... For my mother
And my pointless life continues on

The pain in your words is very vivid.......you write so well.....to translate emotion by the written word is no mean feat.
