X'MAS PRESENT

cheers! a toast! tears froze on my cheek
sighs escape through my lips
to my unseeing eyes, the festive season holds no meaning
life bubbles forth, yet how is it different from death?
sadness overwhelms my being
spun into a cocoon of melancholy
like a drowning person, i'm thrown into a panic
summoning my courage, i try to edge back
to the world of the living
feeble attempts make me sink deeper
into a hazy realm, i'm getting weaker
and my soul is laughing at me
