When Depression Takes Hold

Where am I, really needing to know I am all alone, and feeling so low the point has past, tears no longer flow just wanting to run, with nowhere to go Thinking back, a time when it had all started unknowingly, destiny had already been charted my mind so pained, carrying a troubled heart mistakenly thinking, depression I could outsmart Being wrong, I will necessarily admit no more excuses, promising to commit I acknowledge my fears, this is the truth coming back to haunt me, sins of my youth At times although distraught, I will not surrender placing my faith in G-d, may He be my defender if pain has reached me, it must be for my own good G-d’s way of correcting, this kindness was understood So I have come to accept my pain, it’s only for the best my mind is now less troubled, my soul can find some rest lessons to be learned, worth much, if we will only believe even in our darkest moments, we have the power to achieve Our tribulations in life, they will never ever cease to be part of growing is to open your eyes and finally see there is light, but out of the darkness it’s hard to perceive everything that happens is for the better, why forever to grieve
