My Depression

Some days

It’s hard to find

A reason

To get out of bed

The depression claws

At me

Begging me

To just stay there

Sink into the darkness

And disappear

But I don’t want to

Do that

Not again

Because I know this

Darkness

I know this

Depression

I know what it’s like

And I know

That nothing will get better

If I give up

So I’ll keep on fighting

And I’ll persevere

Until

Day by day

The darkness grows brighter

The depression grows weaker

And the hope

The hope grows stronger

    Broke my heart

    And

    You’re the very thing that might
