The heavy door flew open, and no light spewed into my direction.  The entrance dark, and uninviting.  I walk into the corridor, and nothing is there.  The walls bare with the emaculate and precise touchings of time.  The sun is set, and a mild light falls on the kitchen counter like a draped curtain.  Flashing in your head is these little mental movies of all the good times you have had in this place.  Its too bad you didn't have a camcorder.  Now you only rely on your memory.  Slowly in time, these videos will become your past, and you will strain to remember them. I bet you are wondering where  you standing right now?  You are standing in a beautiful memory somewhere in your head. It could have been a friends house, your moms house, your house, could have been a store where you met your true love.  It could have been anywhere.   Somewhere that you cherished,and loved going.  You can still remember it today. You often think about this place.  It's too bad that they moved away, or maybe they died.  Maybe they knocked down this place, and built a new one leaving this place to only exist in your mind.  Whatever place this is....its not what it was then.   It will never be so ever again.  The sounds of laughing in the distance will never be as loud as it was then. If however, it even exists.  As you walk through the buildings vacant rooms you feel the heavy face of depression fall upon your shoulders....What do you do know?  This chapter in your life was shut, but without your consent.  You wish you could relive it.  Wish it still existed....wished the laughing could get a little louder.   I will tell you this from my own experience.....It never will.  I will tell you of two paths you can take.  Please listen carefully..........the path of depression......

"THE EASY ROAD"

I tie the rope around my neck.

You don't see my lifes a wreck.

I stand as tall as I ever will

Looking out the window sill.

I cry for me I cry for you

You love me , and I love you too

I think again, I think real deep

I lay me down my soul you keep.

I walked off in eternal glory

Please remember to tell my story

Now I ruined your life and mine

Just to have a taste of the devine

Here I lay in my infinite bed

Paid for my sins, my own blood bled

............................................................or you can come to a realization.  Maybe, if you payed the electric bill in this place the light might come back on.  Maybe if you hung a couple of pictures the laughter would get a little louder.  Maybe if you cleaned the floor you can pour your own heart into this dream, and make it come alive again.  Its within you.  Don't let it kill you as a person, there are more moments that lie ahead.  Forget about the bad times, and make space for the good.  We have all went through bad moments.  We have all experienced loss and death.  Not all of us let it eat at us like a parasite.  It will suck all the life out of you and leave you looking at life like it is a burden.  Life is brilliant................................You close the door and lock it, and throw away the key.  You look up the wall and see its tattered paint freckaling off like glitter in a wedding.  You pause and watch one more video, until it slowly fades.....and you wake up.
