Depression - My Adversary
Folder:
Poetry from the Heart Ohh, ouch, please no more
sharp teeth biting
sharper claws tearing til I'm sore
Depression hits
without warning
past pains long-buried
suddenly clawing their way up
I think I've healed so well
then suddenly the bowels of hell
tears dripping, dripping
my skin shredding, ripping
oh please, please go away
let me deal with you another day
today I'm far too weak
to face this issue, I cannot speak
life isnt always easy - this I know
but it shouldnt always darkly flow
is it the emotional pain
that brought this on
and holds me in its thrall
or the physical pain
that takes my all
dear God please
help me through another day
and rid me of this depression
thats such a terrible disease
