Depression & Anxiety - Robbers of The Soul

ROBBERS OF THE SOUL

You know you used to know it

But you just don't know it now

And you used to feel it

But the feeling got lost somehow

Reality is now an abstract thing

Coming at the whim of thought

They shoot their arrows at you

Each moment like a battle fought

Oh the struggle that it brings

When confidence is stolen away

You used to try most anything

But now just amble through the day

Everyone thinks that you're okay

They don't see the struggle within

They only get a partial view

And can't see beyond the skin

You're pushed with expectations

All thinking you to be like you were then

But you're not that person anymore

And may not ever be again

Cause everything you thought you knew

And every thing that you held dear

Now they all seem to allude you

Every thought booby trapped with fear

Every thought somehow corrupt

No peace your soul can find

The soundness that you once knew

now only a crippled, broken mind

Depression and Anxiety came in

Like masked robbers of the soul

Feelings, peace, and confidence

Are the precious jewels they stole
