Hunted by Depression

By Connor Orrico

 

Hurt seeking healing,
Haunted seeking heart,
Hazed seeking heaven,
Harrowed seeking home.

 

Deliverance from desuetude,
Defiance of diablerie,
Development of devotion,
Destruction of despondency.

 

Though pathology hunts till dread,
Perhaps I can hold on to dreams.
