Darkness

Clawing for escape, distorted images swimming in my head. My mind in constant battle as my insides twist and turn. Depression my old hated foe rears its ugly head once more. To taunt and probe, through the carefully layered shell I fought so hard to re- build. Why do you taunt and tease me so? As I battle through shadows of self-doubt reaching behind clouds of misery and mists of uncertainty, and once again stand toe to toe, with a well-known adversary. Pulled and pushed to and fro until your desire has been met. Taking your leave for a while, only until our paths once more at the crossroad will meet. And the cycle starts all over between you and me.
