Title: struggling with my secret war!
Author: Deb

Poem: depression grabs me once again
takes hold of me
with brain in slow-motion
I'm struggling to survive
Like every breath
is bringing me to the end.

I have these scars upon my soul
that never seem to heal
each day I'm dying more and more
so much already dead

nothing makes me shine
sadly
not even my kids
I'm a drifting shadow
a bird with wings torn off
never able to soar

I can't keep fighting
held underwater and gasping for air
maybe I should let the bipolar
drown me
like the ocean swallowing me up

then maybe,
just maybe,
I'll be at peace....
