Depressing times

People have times in their live's when their under great mental stress,

When their life seems in turmoil, As they suffer duress

as the feeling builds of impending dread,

When depression starts raising it's ugly head.

As it descends upon you like an all-engulfing cloud,

Impossible to scream or cry out loud.

A chemical Imbalance within the brain,

Taking over your mind, seem's your going Insane. 

Reminding yourself of family and friends,

To try to diss-sway the course that you're mind intends.

Anxieties continually come to the fore,

As the grim reaper waits patiently outside your door.

You stand teetering on the edge of a mighty abyss,

Contemplate what of this world you would truly miss.

Dark thoughts take control of your body and mind,

You wonder if it's time to leave it all behind.

No one could possibly understand your pain,

As this part of your life, you carefully constrain.

Then the first rays of sun start to appear,

When you finally realize, Just what you hold dear.

Gradually you start to win your fight,

As you stave off your demons for one more night.

Your mind then returns to a more stable place,

When you finally feel part of the human race.

Life carries on just like before,

Now your demons have been locked firmly, behind the door.

Another tick in your favor, A new day to savor.

Next time you feel alone and you feel yourself slip,

Reach out to someone and take a firm grip.

Bare your soul, Explain how you feel,

Then you will be able to see exactly what's real.

Never again will you have to fight, demons alone in the dead of night.

life will get better from here on in,

As now you face your fears, you won't let them in.
