Hold On

get through the tough times, and you will see the light of the good times.

The release of me was pure,

I felt the darkness seep from my veins

as you let me go this one last time.

This grip you have on me cannot last forever,

give it time

and it will weather, all the hurt and darkness

you easily gave to me.

Depression cannot go away like turning off a light,

it is like swimming in a pool of darkness,

where darkness is disguised as light,

reaching for you

clinging to you--

and like a child to candy,

you reach for it..and it then takes hold

But,

if you are as strong as you say you are,

you can overcome anything.

Inspirational. It can sometimes be easy to forget that the bad times do go away, but they always do eventually.

"Hello darkness my old friend ...", don't know why those lyrics came to mind ;)

I know ... till my dying day I will be fighting its dark embrace. Mine is not one that can be reasoned with or talked about as it has neither rhyme nor reason, but the brighter days do exist and I may find peace more often if I were more diligent in taking my pills ... but I'd rather feel pain than feel nothing at all.

Thank you for sharing this message of hope ...
