The last sliver of courage slips between your fingers,
you know there is no escape or hope from all this torment,
but in your wasteland of despair the key still lingers,
even if outside there's nothing but abandonment.

I wish I could do more for others. That said If you ever need someone to talk to please don't hesitate to note me. I'm more than happy to lend a shoulder.

Oh don't worry about me, I've been doing really good!
I just wanted to add a strophe to this X>

Whenever life gets you down,
keeps you wearing a frown,
and the gravy train has left you behind...
and when you're all out of hope,
down at the end of your rope,
and nobody's there to throw you a line...
If you ever get so low
that you don't know which way to go
come on and take a walk in my shoes...
Never worry 'bout a thing
got the world on a string
Cause I've got the cure for all of my blues.

(CHORUS)
I take a look at my enormous penis
and my troubles start melting away.
I take a look at my enormous penis
and the happy times are coming to stay.

I gotta sing and I dance
when I glance in my pants
and the feeling's like a sunshiney day...
I take a look at my enormous penis
and everything is going my way.

(CHORUS)
I take a look at my enormous penis
and my troubles start melting away.
I take a look at my enormous penis
and the happy times are coming to stay.

Yeah I got great big amounts
in the place where it counts
and the feeling's like a sunshiney day...
I take a look at my enormous penis
and everything is going my way.

My trouser monster!
Everything is going my way...
My meat is murder!
Everything is going my way...
size doesn't matter..?

EVERYTHING is going my WAYYY......

Oh, you lol :)

aw sad but well worded

Offers a hug.

Very well said and quite an optimistic poem

Lovely as always

Thank you. :)

You'll have to excuse me. A little stoned (painkillers),
and I just realised just where it was in Seventies rock, where I have previously come across the particular cadence that I hear when I recite the words aloud (caveat being that my accent and manner of speech is likely different than yours)

Oddly enough, the song I am thinking of is just about as far from a 'depression' theme as one can get, but...

Bonus points for the glassy Jared Leto eyes on the keyboard player. Cocaine is one HELL of a drug. :P

I grew up on stuff like this. My cousin Scott played a lot of 70's rock and soul when I was a kid. It's why my main 'sona Zid is a 70's/80's glam rocker. This stuff appeals to my sappy poetic style and is very much what informs the rhythm of what I write. I take the comparison as a compliment.

This song is amazing btw. Thank you. It's one of those things that goes right to my soul when I hear it. It's a bit bittersweet because I wish I could play and sing that kind of stuff. I'm not that great a guitarist and an even worse singer. I guess my poetry is the universes way of making it up to me.

Hope you're doing OK. I really am grateful you enjoy what I do.

Thanks.
And in appreciation, here is another piece of seventies awesomeness I think would be right up your alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxzB9b8kFqM
