Depression

Depression He calls my name. I ignore it. He calls again, I pretend I didn’t hear. He is persistent, and Stalks me as a marauder. Where can I run? He hides in my mind. Has access to all my hurts. My failures. Shameless he flaunts my Inadequacies. I listen. A heavy damp blanket covers me. How can I remove it? I have no strength. I gaze out and see only darkness. End it, he cries. Death seems my only answer. Pray for me my husband. For only in God is there light. Chase away the darkness And put Depression to flight.
