If I Give All I Give

If I get up and go against the grain
taking the energy found in pain 
consume to use on retraining my brain 
going all out 
crushing doubt 
with ignorance 
to grasp the chances  
reclaim my existence 
for all that it is 
surging with resistance 
recycling insistence 
a rejection of depression, 
where being active’s compressed 
and suffering impressed 
with stress inheritance ingest 
squash it dead with pressure 
until leisure out measures 
and I've widen feathers 
an endeavour 
to no matter whatever never 
be imprisoned to rot 
to have risen with all given 
as to give myself a life worth living 

if I give all I give and leave nothing spare 
sparring the enemy til the enemy not there
I will be forever a winner 
with a legacy that'll never see 
the enemy in me roam free 
depression in a state of deceased 
leaving me living with freedom and peace

Depression is a bummer..I have a family member who suffers from it..and its not a piece of cake...Freedom and peace are worth fighting for though..and yes..I believe with determination and support from loved ones one can beat that lurking monster captiving the mind.Enjoyed reading.
