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.
