clouded are my personal judgements

shrouded in darkness and loneliness

forever it seems gone the light

my old enemy depression has come home.

gone are the moments of happiness

gone are the moments of creative thought

gone are the moments of energized living

my old enemy depression has come home.

living with depression roosting on my shoulders

the misery it brings and strangling torture

wishing for one ounce of your life back

hazed in a land of confusing cruelty.

depression sucks the life from its playmates

leaving their used to be lively bodies to wither

removing all remnants of ones self worth

deeply inhibiting the life to come out.

sitting here under depressions weight

i feel as tho my body is not my own

my mind wonders to times of being alive

motion no longer seems to be in my grasp.

how did i come to this crossroad of pain

waiting for the endless night to pass

feeling ever so torn from my family and friends

feeling the loneliness that this dark shroud brings.

shall i ever feel the love again and the spark

shall my life energy force ever bloom again

will my mind ever wonder and dream of better

or shall i sit and rot in my own anguish.

depression you have come home to roost

oh what bitter sweet sorrow you bring

please leave me and let me live once more

take your dreariness far from my home.

leave me in peace you monster of life stealing

may the remnants of you not haunt me evermore

let me feel the wind on my face once again

leave me alone leave this place.

my heart and mind give no safe haven for you

i have now recognized you for what you are

i want my life back you wicked lifestealer 

take your darkness and bother me no more.
