Opression Releases a Light

Depression is oppression. It's a deadly hidden message Defined by self-hate. It seals its prisoner's fate. It holds you captive and throws out the key. It stabs and jabs just to see you bleed, Inflicting wounds that scar for life. Destruction is its mother and death its wife. You can cry, but it will always ignore your screams. It terrorizes your soul and haunts your dreams. It sends you false hope through a bottle or pill. It destroys your goals and inflicts its will. You can't run, nor can you hide. By its rules you will abide Until it celebrates that you have died. Open your eyes, or you will be its prey. It will blur your vision in the most twisted way. It will seek your destruction and call for your head. You will lie and wait but never rest in your bed. Peace will come to those who want peace, But as long as you feed him, you will see the beast. You can't run, nor can you hide, But if you conquer the beast, you will survive. Prayer and hope can lead the way. Cling on to every word you pray. Hope is in truth. Hate is in lies. Pray for your soul and open your eyes.
