The Beast - Depression

the monster that is always there

“Out of control “ feeling?

That when the darkness grips me, my only reaction is to cry, to feel despair?

It sneaks up on me,

Hiding, waiting for its chance,

To pounce like the predator it is,

I can’t explain it

I can’t reason with it

I can’t control it

I can’t ignore it

I have to let it take me

 Have no choice

My only weapon is to distract �" to do something, anything

No one else can help,

But it is clever,

It grips me, keeps me inactive, it won’t let me escape

It knows if it keeps me quiet, if it isolates me,

I will despair, I will give up

Never be isolated, is the general rule of thumb when dealing with depressing scum, heh... As a long-time fighter of the beast... This nailed the nail on the head... Shivering, crying, hoping it might end tonight... Smartly, darkly penned...

Depression is the silent killer.
No matter how positive you are, it will shut you down. I suppose if your active, it's ten times worse.

I really like this. I have felt this way many times. I like the picture of pain you created.
