Monsters in my head
Depression is a self destruct sequence that makes you feel more than low
Some of you may and some may not know
It is wrestle all tangled up with life it's self.
Making you want to jump of its thin frail shelf.
I fought and I fought but I grew tired and weary
And thus made my wife my mum all teary
I began to push my wife away
As I felt I grew closer to my final day
I went from a strong man to a weak small boy
With no love left and not an ounce of joy
But then came a dark figured creature
As it grew closer it became a preacher
I asked him to help me here on this day
We then together began to pray
So I share with you the prayer I said
Dear god if your there please help me please do
give me the strength the courage that I once knew
Bring me from the edge of death sorrow and pain
Give joy and hope so I can begin again.
A few weeks later I started to feel strong
Was it the prayer or am I wrong
I do not know what helped was it prayer my family or indeed myself
But all I know is I can no longer see the edge of the shelf.

Hello James...
I agree with Richard...
You made me laugh when you said you were nervous about posting...
I felt that same uncertainty when I first posted too...
I wasn't sure if I was going to be booted out like I was booted out on another site...
I took a chance...
Now, I have a great big Cosmo family...
Maybe, one day you'll begin to feel like family here too...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Thanks I guess it's just a slight low self esteem nervous about putting my writing out there and my feelings as I write from what I know and have experienced as I think it can give the readers a real empathy as they can take in and feel as I did at the time thank you for such great comments it has made my day

Thank you Sana I appreciate that ?
Hey James. I really like your style. It feels so honest. Perhaps like you understand the few of us who don't always have fantastic love rhymes to share. I don't know where I'm going with this lol. Anyway, I love this and I can't wait to read more
