Hide & Seek

The feeling is so warm
and inviting
familiar even...

The devil�s playmate
no voices of reason..

Hand in hand they go...
but I don�t want to play along...
I try and try to fight it
But damn, it�s so strong...

Faint whispers in my ear
You hide, I seek...
Regret,
Anger,
Lastly, defeat...

Against my own wishes,
I play this dangerous game...
Knowing I�ll lose,
yet again...

But what can I say?
When I�m the one to blame?
When I can�t put my foot down,
and maintain?...

All losses, no gains...
When I�m the only one
Who I�ve betrayed?

Anxiety, you wicked little fool...
It wasn�t enough
That you had to bring a friend
To play a round of this stupid game...

Heart beat pounding
against my frame...
My head is spinning
out of control...

But I can�t let the devil
take my soul...

I thank you for coming
to my session...
As this is my battle,
against depression....
