Overcome Depression

My heart wonders why

This tempest has a hold

In and out of despair

My mind grows cold

An icy blur reaches over my veins

Anger twinges my pulse

Tears well in my eyes

This is not paradise

My hands quiver

They want to reach into the sky

I long to feel happiness inside

Depression's grasp engulfs my senses

Bringing me down into its depths

I feel no hope

Reality knows I will overcome

But bad emotions overwhelm

In and out the darkness does creep

Ever coming and ever going

When might my mind be clear

How can my heart be full

When blood pumps ice

And the demons play with my emotions

How can I enjoy when happiness comes

Knowing depression will creep back in

A cycle my soul must break

A war in which my spirit plays a part

Will I overcome?
