A Life Stolen

medication
it's the only thing keeping him
alive

depression
engulfs his mind until nothing is
left

darkness
seems to be the only thing still
around

the hospital
opens it's cold metal doors to him in hope to give him a new
life

lies
are the only thing the doctors will tell
him

medication
is pumped more into his hollow
body

depression
still lurks in the soul of this poor
human

darkness
has become his new best
friend

the hospital
a cold shelter among the dead and
insane

lies
telling him that he is making
progress

freedom
is offered to the ill
man

but death
waits in the form of a
gun

a trigger
is pulled in hope that all the lies and darkness will be
freed
