Always there

Always there

Laying in my bed at night, i can feel him in my room, hiding in the corner, the harbinger of my doom

The bringer of the darkness, the master of my pain, waiting just to engulf me, to let the darkness reign

The overwhelming feeling of hopelessness, jumps into my brain, the feeling of depression, the the tears they fall like rain

I get a crushing feeling, there is no place where i can turn, the flame of hope extinguished, no embers left to burn

Drowning in a sea of hurt, no sign of hopes dry land, the Reaper pulls me under, i fight to reach the sand

But i am on my own at night, alone i have to fight, hold myself together, to make it through the night

For tomorrow brings the Sunlight, with it come some hope, a glimmer of happiness, a chance that i might cope

People come and visit, your minds busy through the day, things seem much brighter, i chat, i laugh and play

Then the Sun says its sweet farewell, again I'm all alone, the Reapers in the room again, he knows I'm on my own

I feel the darkness creeping in, he drags me to his depths, my heads above the water, i gasp for every breath

Another night i fight the fight, against the pain and fears, trying to make it to the Sun, to stop the flow of tears

Searching for a way to win, to destroy that demon in my head, i tell myself, it's nothing, just thoughts whilst in my bed

But the depression is so very real, it can strike at any time, making you feel helpless, when before you felt just fine

Every man has a mountain, a struggle they must climb, mine it's being paralysed, i fight it all the time
