Depression is my strange friend
It’s that broken vase
Once broken it will never be the same.
It’s the fog around you while you’re driving
And your wipers aren’t working
Depression is life’s gun.
Sometimes the triggers
Are unknown
But when it goes off
Takes the life you feel inside you
Depression is a heart attack and
a stroke at the same time
Your heart is being attacked
While your thoughts damage you
Depression is being around everyone you love
Doing the things you enjoy
But you feel so invisible
It’s the rain the keeps pouring
And you’re wondering
Where is the rainbow?
Depression is having the voices
Of those you thought loved you
But instead the poison you hear
Replay its self over and over
Now you’ve got yourself
Against you.
Your heart becomes so weak
And wounded
It no longer works
What is it that life can offer
To be your defibrillator
The explosive nature of your thoughts
Expand your inner crater
I know what it feels like to be smothered to death
But still fight for a reason to live
Drowning in all your uncertainties
when you know He who is above you
Is the most certain
You don’t dare open those curtains
For you fear the light you allow in
Will only be masked up again
And even though depression will have control of my mind
It is too weak to take over my soul
Because it is He who blew his spirit into me
Giving me a reason
To set myself free

We all have to find our own medicines to make this reality work, I felt every word.
Thank you for sharing
Much peace and respect
Love your description of what depression means to you. It's totally subjective
ANGELA HERE - Good Evening KHADIJA (Excellent Name). Welcome to MPS it is an interactive site - Im pleased you have some comments ! Depression is a beast & difficult to control. I am a PHYSIOTHERAPIST and some of my CLIENTS become depressed when they lose a limb etc. Through massage (Aromatherapy) I can alieviate their Mental tension - I also encourage them to meditate and Pray to their God for Peace of Mind ! I believe that Prayer & Meditation can renew and cleanse the Mind & Soul. From experience I agree with your final FIVE LINES. If we are filled with Gods Holy Spirit - Depression can never take over our SOUL and Gods Holy Spirit can (and does) control & defeat DEPRESSION ~ AMEN ! Please visit our site - Brain is my Fiancee
