Depression Demons Go Away

Depression demons go away; joy has lost its way… Depression demons; stop injecting your venom in my soul... I can taste your pain in my veins Feel your cold and bitter despair in my air! I smell your stench; it’s wicked as an old wench You make my mood move like a thunderous storm Put my mind in a constant state of morn... Depression demons go away; please send joy my way… Depression demons, stop haunting me Release your grip and set me free! You are not welcome; please leave me be There’s no place left; as you well see No place for your misery... Depression demons go away; for JOY today I pray… Lay

C.L. REV. 21:4 is most encouraging to me. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Thank you for sharing this with me... Lay

P.D. and Carolyn, Thank you kindly for your encouraging words. Carolyn, I am sorry to hear of your mother's struggle and pain of Depression. I'm sure that prayer for her children gave her hope... This was her outlet as writing is mine. Thank you again... Lay

Walayee, you are sure to drive those demons of depression away with prayer. My late mother suffered from severe depression, but when she went to church each Sunday I think she prayed only for her children. You describe the state of depression so well in this poem. Peace and blessings, Carolyn
