Poem about Depression

[Belanne]

The Dark Demon

A dark night that is never ending
The dark demon clawing at your soul
Life lived under a constant cloud.
On the other side of the abyss,
A ray of hope, a glimpse of freedom,
Memories of happiness
Sun, warmth, the light of life
Just out of reach but always there
A slippery slope, hard to grab hold
A step forward then 2 steps back
How to bridge the gap?
Climb out of the dark?
Break free from the demon?
A never ending journey
To the inner depths of your mind
Always hoping that someone,
Somewhere, will understand
And wake you up from this eternal dark night.

[Mich]

Yes, for me it's that desperate yearning that someone will understand...
