Dark Thoughts Breeds Madness

A poem about not letting depression get the best of you. and how faith can heal depression

 

 It's  in your mind, around every corner,

There is no light  to find, only  the pain of another day,

There it is  a ledge... you take a step ,over the edge,

Deeper and deeper, ...Darker and darker

No way out or so your told,

Lost and cold by the pain in your heart,

No cares for a  world who cares not for you,

 

You look in the mirror and see doubt on your face,

You scream to yourself  " IS THERE NO WAY OUT OF THIS PLACE"

For how do you escape your own mind?

The place where demons lurk.

You find that your constantly in a fight to keep your sanity.

 

Then it happens you give it up, you  can take no more,

You say a prayer, you wisper weekly.. GOD help me,

And then you say your goodbyes not  knowing you"ve been heard.

And that's when you see it, the ladder that appers as if  from nowhere,

Was it always there?

And some how you dicide to give it one more chance,

Maybe, there is Hope,.... Hope where did that filling come from?

Was it always there?

You climb the ladder one rung at a time,

And as you do   tears fill your eyes,

 

You realize that the ladder and the hope you fill was aways there,

you just could not see it through the dakness,

As you reach the top,

 And the bonds of darkness lose there grip on your mind,

The light of the world comes shining through,

no match for demons  I dare say to you!!

For my lord is my light he brought  me through dark days!

There is no more shadows or painful days,

Just sunshine in your heart!

 

When you recover from depression it's like springtime everyday!!!!

Wow, well done! I really like the last line. I suffered from major depression for a LONG time and once you're released from that you take everything with so much joy becuase you know the other side of it. Nicely written. It flowed beautifully.
