Surviving Your Own Mind
Run,
As fast as you can,
For the shadows
Are coming.
They'll get you.
They'll devour you.
You'll be left in shreds,
Unless you run.
Hide,
Where you can never be found,
For the shadows
Are searching.
They'll find you.
They'll eat you.
You'll be left in pieces,
Unless you hide.
Disappear,
Off the face of the earth,
As if you never existed.
For the shadows
Are coming.
They'll find you.
They'll destroy you.
You'll be left on the floor,
Shattered,
Unless you disappear.
Do not try to fight back;
You cannot win.
You will not survive
Unless you run,
And hide,
And disappear.
For the shadows
Are coming
And they're coming
For you.

I have suffered with depression for my entire life. I wanted to write something dark and haunting, violent and frightening, to show people that living with depression isn't what you see in the movies. Depression isn't about getting over something that makes you sad, it isn't about finding some boy who changes your whole world and magically cures you. Depression is about surviving with the chemical imbalance that's in your brain trying to tell you that everything sucks and there's nothing good in the world. You either battle depression, or you lose. But there's no final victory; there's no cure.
