Trapped

Darkness falls around me,

I am now disconnected from the world,

As a familiar monster creeps upon me,

Telling me, once again, I have failed.

It snakes around my lungs,

Making it hard for me to breathe,

but I know I have to fight if off,

For I will not let this monster succeed.

Its demon lingers upon my chest,

I'm now feeling nothing but pain,

I'm holding onto my only hope,

that a bright day will come after this rain.

It continues it's journey,

but stops at my throat,

where now thee monster has clung,

tears threaten to spill from my eyes,

So I am now holding my tongue.

For I know,

that if I speak,

the tears will leak out,

and the monster has won.

Worthless.

That is what I am,

as I look at these scars,

with a blade in my hand.

Trying to set myself free.

I escape for a moment

before I'm sucked back in.

because depression is the monster,

and I am trapped in my own skin!
