A Challenging Flight

My demons I fight, 
For my Lord, every day 
They sit in waiting 
In the dark places for me. 

My plight shall I ride, 
For my Lord, in every way 
These demons bring up thoughts 
But my strengths in my Lord sway
That is where I won my fall. 

The depressions: 
Come at me in madness 
Along with it
Is it evil, for sure?

Not sure I can
Take much more 
At times it makes me 
Want to puke
When I can't find a door. 

A door out of this place, 
Of depressing, crushing
Feelings it leaves.

Sure is a bunch of sadness 
I'm not willing to relive it. 

I need to get out, 
But it seems 
It's my life 
Even though I to encase
And see this with doubt.

Depression is evil and a result of The Fall. Persevere, Mr. Darnell. Evocative piece. :o)

There is only one other person with your name I have ever encountered. The other one is Arlo Guthrie. Have you ever heard of him before? Folk singer. It isn't a common name, that's for sure. Best of Wishes, William
