And The Winner Is...

we all battle depression but you can come out victorious

Depression, sometimes is lasts for minutes, sometimes it lasts for days maybe years

its a time where all you feel is sadness and think about your worst fears

this can really bring a person down

it can turn the brightest smile into the darkest frown

I have faced this battle many times and many times I admitted defeat

I was its slave, down on my knees kissing its feet

it followed me throughout most of my life 

the pain felt so sharp like a freshly polished knife

depression has no limit, it will keep attacking until the job is done

and all I could do was simply run

but depression is much faster than I am

it can chase you no matter where you are whether it be water, the air, or land

depression is powerful but it can be defeated

there are several ways you can stop its hunger, you must not feed it

some people talk it out, others write it out

that's the path I chose to do, whenever Im in doubt I write it out

everyone goes through this horrible pain 

some feed into it and become insane

you are the sun

depression is the rain

you have to the power to shine through it 

you have the power to end its reign 

if depression comes to attack

do not panic, relax

talk it out, write it out whatever the case may be

there is always something, someone that's gonna help you, you see

always keep your head up high and never look down

unless its to help someone battling depression off of its ground.
