My Depression
I am lost within myself
I feel I can't break free
My thoughts and emotions are torturing me
I wishni could identify what "IT" is that is consuming me
All I know, is IT is my enemy
For years now, this enemy has kept me in his eye sight
I've known him, even considered him a friend
Although I hated him
My addiction kept him at a distance
Men, sex, drugs, alcohol and self mutilation
Even from afar, even when I thought he was gone
He would creep up and laybright beside me
At times I would even welcome him
Now I'm left alone to face him
Just me
I wanted desperately to fight him on my own
Although I knew IT was going to be hard
Cause I could feel his fingers on me
NOW?
Now Intel I'm losing the battle
Cause I feel him completely wrapped around me
Mind, body, and soul
Even my heart
He no longer just lays beside me At night
He has devoured me
Consumed me
I am he.. he is I
I no longer have anyone to catch my tears
They are wasted and useless
I fight him all day
I'm screaming for comfort
