Depression

Depression is intrinsic gall to mother Earth
A heart malady that suppress I want to be, I  what
To do, want to do, and how to get with it on a
struggling manner
A mountain upon a small creature,
A man that hide behind a small obstacle and upon
entering the heart, he lodges like a heavy stone.
Million of thoughts will now be rushing into the mind
like a whirling wind
What makes you think you can't overcome this
moron vulture?
Depression: a strong man, but brittle in nature
Determination and focus reduced him to languor
Once he comes waving in your therein,
an angry ocean, don't give in
because seeing you
 crying inward
Or thinking negatively would 
only make him eat deep
 your heart.
Rather, infuse your self with
Hope and be prayerful. Only then you are the
 strongest.

Your poem is expressive and encouraging. For many it is not so easy to fight their demons; they need lots of help, love and understanding. // paul

Several members of my family suffer from depression. It's a struggle to watch that and I can't imagine how painful it is for them... This is a very encouraging and expressive poem, A.M. You wrote well on the topic!

Depression, to those who have never been there, seems easy to address. One kind is addressed in spiritual context. Another is battled with medicine. It is real, and people who have this need compassion. But you are right, prayer helps. Good one, AM! hugs
