Depths of my mind

9/8/15

The darkened sky loomed above me. Rain pouring, thunder roaring and lighting flashing as I stood facing certain death. I did not stand alone on that battlefield laden with blood, for my best friend stood beside me. My sister by our friendship forged in fires and strengthened through hardships. I looked at her and nodded slightly, to say the words my mouth could not speak. She returned it with a knowing look upon her face. With a clap of thunder and a strike of lightning we battled. The enemy know but not seen but to us. We longed to aid each other but we knew it to be in vain. As I was struck down, she conquered her assailant. My assailant dissipated into the shadows with a sly smile as I lay dying slowly. She on looked as I die, knowing there was nothing she could do. I longed to help her for her attacker was slain for now but it would rise again, at least my fear was such. A weak smile crossed my face, knowing my end was near. Small battles did not win the war, the victories earned were lost and in vain. I lay dying to depression. She lived by social anxiety. She won, I fell. Our attackers named and watching each other struggle time after time. I fell to my demon. She lived by hers.
