Depression and Anxiety
May 12, 2016
They were days to remember
Days that wished to be forgotten
They lurked in the back of my mind
Monsters daring to escape
They blocked out the happy thoughts
Smiles forever behind bars
They brought with them fear
Thoughts forever racing
I begged them to stop
They went full speed ahead
I threatened to give up
They consumed me instead
I am trying to fight them
They are far too strong
I feel them every where I go
They feed off my soul
Tears stain my cheeks
More thoughts cross my mind
I wish they would stop
But I know they never will

This is very good, I have suffered over 35 yrs, but with the luck of my medicine I can cope with the world now. Never give up on your med's they work and you will be able to live a wonderful life. I love you and wish you the best.

Honestly so well written and your so talented. It's so amazing how someone can read this and not just see words on a screen but the way it's written makes it clear to see a deeper meaning and feel what you wrote
