TRAPPED

This is a poem about depression and the battle to survive it

I am trapped inside this person claiming to be me.
                                        Not knowing each day how I will be.
                                        When the darkness comes I usually walk alone.
                                        The pain I face has grown and grown.
                                        But scared am I, hidden deep within.
                                        Waiting out this dark storm hoping it will end.
                                     
                                        I look up and behold I see a man
                                      My dark, handsome prince, wasn't in the plan
                                        He has seen the darkness take me
                                      And enters in unafraid. He would slay any dragon.
                                      If my pain had a face.
                                        The very fact that he loves me and can accept me so.
                                      Gives me reason to fight harder than I ever did know.
                                        The days won't be filled with sunshine, but this much I know
                                        IT TAKES JUST ONE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR US
                                        to fight for our soul.
