This Illness

In my mind I know what people can go through
Their minds are tortured for so long
Depression is no respect of persons
It can hit you whether you're weak or strong!

I've weathered this pain for many years
Wondering how long it would stay
Nothing in my power that I could do
Wondering if it would ever go away

It was there morning, noon and night
Sometimes the nights could be worse
Just so lonely and in despair
How long would I fight this curse!

Crying until I couldn't cry...
