My life is like a war or at least to me it seems...The days are filled with sadness & these agonizing screams.....
Fighting in this battle has left me lost & broken...Yearning for some comfort & words still left unspoken.....
As I wander aimlessly in search of the right path.... Darkness overcomes me unleashing heavy wrath.....
I try to gather armor to protect myself from Strife... but evil overpowers casting more shadows on my life.....
I am left standing here confused to what I've done so wrong... to deserve this brutal beating & a heartache this strong.....
As to why I've let it take me down & strip my strength away... I cannot give an answer nor find the right words to say.....
I wish, hope & beg for some light to help me see... to make it through this sadness that has control of me....
Anger, pain & hopelessness are only but a few... of the emotions I have to overcome to see a better view....
So what is stopping me from doing so & halting my progression? Well, I suffer from an illness to which doctors gave the name Depression.....
I know that there are people who believe it's just an excuse... I wish that were the case but I suffer its abuse.....
Unfortunately for me I have yet to find a cure... The pills just made me crazy in my next moments unsure....
Every day I live in fear of what has yet to come... I pray for some relief before to the depression I succumb.....
