Depression

Silhouettes and shadows

Play freely in the dark

Taunting and haunting

Waiting for me to lose control

 

An avalanche of emotions

Fills my mind with dark thoughts

As I try to grasp, holding on to reality

The beauty of life I fight to stay alive

In my mind

 

A tug of war game

Between saddness and happiness

As fear and panic fill the air

Fighting to escape

 

Wanting to be free

From the desolation and despair

A battle that must be fought

Daily, to stay alive

I love this, but it feels forced, amazing but i feel like there is something missing, like its how society tells you to be depressed and not exactly quit it.

Im going through this exact same battle right now. A lot of things and emotions going through my mind, and it's just so endless for me. U have no idea how much i cry by all of this going on. Most of the time, i just want to.... Just hang in there hun. *holds ur hand*
