The swirling storm inside just won't stop.
Why?
I have done everything I need to.
I am a good person at heart.
What have I done to deserve this?
Why is this world against me?
Haven't I been helpful?
I've been a target.
I've been spotted and tracked.
Depression is unavoidable.
It is everywhere.
It is waiting for you for when you need something or someone and it's just you and nobody else.
How can I prevent it?
How can I show others I'm strong when I can't even live without feeling that I'm a mistake?
I'm done.
I'm fighting with all the strength I have to keep moving, yet there is no strength in me.
My energy and my life has been sucked right out of my body.
My life's own antagonist.
Depression.
