Depression

You came into my life 
Without a warning or a sign  
You came and drained my happiness like a parasite  
I live with you every day as a part of me  
You take so much of me, maybe you I'm just a part of you 
You can't allow me to be happy, smile laugh nor love  
You came into my life with jealousy  
You made me doubt myself and those around me  
You plant in my mind dark thoughts  
You cloud my sensible judgement  
You drive me to jealousy, drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, and *********** for me to escape your tight claws on my mind  
You make me feel like am drowning even though am not  
Submerged in water, you like raging ocean, I can't seem to catch my breath and my head above the water. 
Matching into the dark with distant decisions  
With the eyes of my love blind folded  
Can't see between right and wrong, making me believe what falls is bound to break, 
Depression you won the battle not the war!

Horrible Illness; hang in there. I'm seventy two--you can manage and win sometimes. What you learn and transform in, for the good of humanity, is well worth the battle. This is a stunning write. Honest, and incredibly intelligent! Expecting many more great works from you.

God bless you in your time of need. I battle with this as well. There are many new meds for this. Try a new dr. Kelli
