Depression is an enemy,
That strips your soul from you,
Depression is an enemy,
That destroys your hope,
Depression is an enemy,
That makes it hard to breath,
Depression is an enemy,
That makes you want to curl up,
In a ball and die.
Sometimes life seems hopeless,
That there is no way out,
That the pit your in is so deep,
It is impossible to climb out.
Thoughts of death and suicide,
Sometimes cloud your mind,
But you push forward knowing,
Somehow you will survive.
Depression is an enemy,
That like to strike at anytime,
And drags along its daggers,
Anxiety, Addiction, Food issues, self harm,
To bring you to the ground.
It is a dark hole,
And it is hard to see the light.
At times I want to give up,
But I know I've come this far,
One day I will get through this,
And help someone else,
Going through this storm.
I am not alone,
For I know many others suffer as well,
And I fight for hope,
I fight for life,
I fight to survive,
Because that is all I can do,
As long as I am alive and breathing,
There is hope,
There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
No matter what happens,
No matter what pain or trauma come my way,
I keep moving forward,
One day at a time.
