Spiral

Please note this is NOT an indication of what I'm "about to do". I wrote this 5 1/2 years ago when my depression was at it's worst. I'm caught in this downward spiral Spinning out of control This depression has a grip on me and won't let go Sometimes shades of light start to shine through. Then it's back to reality What should I do? All the blades in the world can't cut the chain, alcohol won't drown the pain Even with pills it still remains My life will never be the same I'm through with the battle, I've lost the war, There's no more options for me to explore. Death greats me warmly at the door Peace at last forever more.

Glad that this portion of your life is over and maybe writing will help some other person who is struggling with the problem. Nicely put together. Sara
