Blind mist

Depression / addiction.

Like a blind mist pushing down on my mind,

all consuming.

Already primed, evil.

I can't resist.

Next time it comes I want to fight it.

Takes a purer kind of strength,

but I can't seem to find it.

When it finally departs from my mind,

it's hopeless victim.

My soul aches with despair.

I pray next time it'll be more kind.

Like a mist rolling in, the despair consumes you. Is that the meaning ?

I like the way you try to fight it, with a purer kind of strength...but in the end it is hopeless and you can only pray it will be kind on you.

I like it.

Thanks, yes I was trying to express the feeling of mental numbness that happens when dealing with a mental anguish and the cycle of self punishment that follows it. Thanks for your comment.
