Depression


Depression is like a leech, it sucks the
 life out of you. It is also like a ball of 
darnkess that is always swirling
 around you. You try to run, you try to 
hide but when you look back its right 
there. 
Its like a piece of you that you can not 
ever get rid of. Never know when it 
will attack; it can attack at any 
moment it doenst matter if your 
happy it will deatroy that happiness. 
And you will never know how long it 
will last. Its like a never ending battle 
within yourself, you fight and fight 
but it still keeps coming. No one really 
understands depression unless they 
have experinced it. Everyone who has 
depression has a different story to 
tell. All you can do is keep fighting 
this battle even though some days you 
wanna say "fuck it I give up" but 
giving up is not the answer.
