The battle within

My body is tired
But, my spirit still
has plenty of fight
in me yet
To face challenges ahead .
The dark nights ahead
Struggling with gloomy thoughts.
Hate winter cold nights
Have to battle this sordid
SAD...

Crazy dark moods
Always surface on cold dark
winter nights
The strangest thoughts
Tug away at my soul.
They bug me
Tease  me
Judge me

Ridicule me

Sometimes I bury my
Thoughts in my dreams
But they haunt me
Subconsciouly
I can't change, or control it .
It controls me.
I stuck in a web of unwanted thoughts.
I am enslaved in a prison.
But my spirit arises
And says enough is enough
Break free ..
From the chains that enslave you.
Run to the nearest exit
My soul awakens  from a bad dream..

Nailed it Ros! That's what depression is, at least to me- a drowning in the cold, dark, abyss of bleakness, chained and unable to escape. Yet, your Spirit, who knows, truly knows, your light and beauty and divinity shines though- " But my spirit arises
And says enough is enough
Break free ..
From the chains that enslave you.
Run to the nearest exit
My soul awakens from a bad dream"
always look to that light!
Well done

Life is struggle. We must overcome many things to find our proper place. I felt the struggle and need to find peace or escape. Thank you Rosalind for sharing your powerful poetry and thoughts.
