I Know You
I see that you've returned to me
though I fought so hard to be rid of you
from the bottom of where hope didn't exist
to this point where you now live
You've made it so I can't explain
nobody seems to know you or the signs of you
there are no words that help define
the changes that you cause for me
They see me sleep beyond whats normal
they've seen me drink without concern
asking me what's wrong with you
but I can't tell them for I do not know
You are not my friend but I know you well
we've both been down this road before
you didn't win then and you will not now
I thought that you were done with me
The darkness you brought you bring again
and I promise to fight you once more
I have the tools and the medicines that I need
to combat the things you do to me
I know your here, I know your back
but you will soon be gone again
I pray for strength when your around
God knows that you don't belong here
I will be free from your powerful grip
for I know your name and I will fight
I will fight,I will win,I will be free
Free from you.... DEPRESSION
