Title: the beast

Poem: I‘m alone fighting the beast called depression
so much darkness I'm left blinded
rain pelts down on my twisted soul
the sun doesn't shine on me
the beast has me beaten

I have no place left to hide
no army of soldiers to help me through
just me in the darkness upon the floor
wishing so hard for a miracle
that this dreaded demon will leave me be

I can’t fight, I have no strength
my mind is useless and I'm weak
dreaded demon take me if you want me
I no longer care
I'm no longer here
I left a long time ago, just came back to visit
you hurt me even though I hold up my shield
but it's useless,
this battle is lost
I give in and you have the victory
take me away, I no longer live
death is upon me, I can feel it
the shivers up my spine
the lead in my head
I give up because inside I’m dead....
