Depression Robbed Me. 3/14/13
Depression robbed me of my dignity
Depression robbed me of my pride
Depression knew just where to find me
When I tried so hard to hide
This disease has taken away my beauty
This disease has taken away my drive
This disease would not leave me
No matter how hard I prayed or cried
It has sucked away my kindness
It has stolen my compassion
It know how to destroy my strength
In its oh so glorious fashion
The illness will always be with me
The illness know how to make a mess
The illness knows how to pull me
Back down into the abyss
Madness is a part of me
Madness in my brain
Madness screaming out to me
Bringing the anguish and the pain
Depression will strip me of my nurturing
Depression will abscond my soul
This infectious disease knows
How to take me over whole
How to find a solace
How to crawl back up
When I know it will reappear again
Sometimes I just want to give up
Hope I can get out of this prison
Hope I can light a candle
To light my way in the darkness
Lord, help me with these burdens
Help me know how to handle
The treacherous, insipid root
that has leeched its way in & made me bleed
These precious things-
Let them break their hold on me
Depression robbed me of my dignity
Depression robbed me of my pride

When I tried so hard to hide

1. It did not take away any of your good. I shrouds all those things in
its cold cloak.
2. Depression is not something we "have". It is something that we do.
3. Depression is like being in an iron box. We drill holes in it for air
when we come to DS. Later, you will find that the lock is on the in
side.
4. Nearly everyone I know who depresses needed help to find the
latch.
5. What is underneath the depression that is so terrible that you are
using such a terribly lethal defense to hide from it?
6. Medication, Therapy, and Fellowship are the three part whammy
that keeps me in remission.
7. We do not get sick overnight, and we usually don't get well
overnight either.
That is all I have to say about that right now. Peace.
Thx for the feedback
