A poem about my fight with depression
I feel the darkness
Slowly creeping inside
I try and stop it
I try and hide

With a tongue for a sword
And a heart for a shield
These weapons seem useless
Yet all that I yield

I will keep on fighting
Until my last breath
I will fight with this writing
Until I meet death

I hope he comes quick
In the shadows of night
Where I sleep peacefully
And cannot try and fight

Reach in my chest
And take my soul
To live the next life
Is my ultimate goal

For in this life ive failed
In my own eyes
Im  a child of chaos
And am not meant to survive

I want to live
I want to die
I want to love
I want to try

Fear is my enemy
And my closest friend
I live day to day
Waiting for the end

The end of the pain
I hold it so close
It follows me around
Like an unseen ghost

Taunting and poking
Saying " im still here"
Filling me again
With nothing but fear

I try once again
To fight it off
Losing is not an option
I must win at all costs

With my tongue for a sword
I will cut you in half
With my heart for a shield
I will block your attacks

I will fight now
For I have no choice
To live is to fight
With my feelings to voice
