Depression After Desire

A Poem by Tj Chana

ehh something i made when i was having troubled times.

"The Depression After Desire,
scorching like the flames of fire.
Your emotions grab you, and take you away in a wisp,
they then bring you down, burning your heart to a crisp.

They push you down, push you closer to the ground,
the epiphany, that comes to you that you have found.
That you've been, tricked, anticked, and put to silence,
and that the only escape that you have is viscous violence.

The only thing stopin' you is a thick metal wall,
if it weren't for that though you would take the fall.
But then you devise, and realize what you've been missin',
that you have your life man have you been listenin'.

Its whats you love, more than what you hate that matters,
its almost like climbing a great big ladder.
The higher you go, the faster you have to fall,
but if you make it to the top then, you know you've done it all."
