I'll preface this by saying it's been a while. Didn't want anyone to think I had died. So here I am, posting SOMETHING just to say I'm still here. I wrote a poem tonight in church on a topic I still struggle with. It's what my last post dealt with. It is what millions of people deal with. It is depression. Since I've already covered this subject I'll just stop writing and put my poem down for you all to read. Thanks for reading. Share the agape.
Demanding Defeat
The walls are closing in
Making it harder to breathe
Feeling trapped
Surrounded by disbelief
Heart pounding in my head
Don't know up from down
Looking for the door
But it's nowhere to be found
It's growing dark
Inside this room
I being to pray
This will all end soon
But my lungs grow tighter
My head feels faint
The enemy grows near
And run, I can't
I hear the slither
I feel the chill
The dreaded fear
Chokes out my will
That first small touch
Upon my feet
As it begins to climb
Demanding defeat
I fall to my knees
Screaming it leave
But that devil depression
Silences my pleas.
