The Ruffian Called Depression

You seep
into me
as I awake
at the call
of dawn

Vulnerability
is the
first
flank
in 
the 
attack

Soon after
Apathy
follows

As a troubleshooter
I immediately
search
for solutions
while
emptiness
Plagues
me

Hope
and faith
is my 
only
ointment
As
It keeps
me from
pure
insanity

Will I 
be overcome?

Time will
be the 
decision maker
While
Perseverance
will
be the 
amunition
that 
suppresses
the
barrage

In the end
The Will
Shall
Triumph
over
the conflicting
emotions
within..................................
