Depression

A view from the dark side

She is a cruel beast
Clawing into me until I am raw flesh
Then she lays her weight down
A combination of pain and pressure
To smother me
Taking my every breath

Getting out from under her is a fight
Needing all of my strength
It is a battle of wills
She won't give up easily
It will take time
But I will wear her down
I have to
If only I can hang on and hold fast

If I slip and fall back she will win
And all will be lost
I am tired and I am hurting
But I must fight with all I have

I hope that like the last time
And every time before
I will find her weak spot
And take her down
I cannot afford to lose
Against this bitch from hell
