Depression

I can feel it closing in around me
my depression it comes to crush me.
Gnawing pain in the pit of my soul,
crushing me from the inside out.
Stealing all that I am and leaving
a shell of a girl behind in its wake.
And even though I know it is coming
I can not seem to run away from it.
Where ever I go it follows me,
coming closer every passing day
bidding its time till it goes in for the kill
taking all that I used to be
the care free girl who used to laugh and live.
In its place it leaves a hollow empty girl
one who can not laugh can not live.
The worse part of it is knowing that it is coming,
and knowing there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening to you all over again.
And one of these times my depression will consume me entirely and I shall never return to being the girl I once was.
Simply an empty shell for the rest of my life.
This is what is coming for me and no matter what I do I can not run from it, for it is in me and something I can not escape from[/font]
