My Battle
August 5, 2012
Depression is a diease
that kills you
slowly
as it teases you softly
with perfect moments of serenity
filled with passionate love
and energy.
That then morph into moments
of desperation
as soon as something dismal happens.
Because when you have no self-esteem,
you can't see the bright side
of anything.
Leaving you only with
dark caves and endless pits
that engulf you whole
and wring you dry
of any happiness left inside.
But please don't ask me
what you can do.
Because this is my battle
that I need to fight for you.
