Sinking

A Poem About my Depression

By Beth LynnPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Everyday is a new battle

Everyday the war drags on

I try and try but the battles...

They're tough.

I put on a brave face,

And pretend to be okay,

But I'm not okay...

I feel like I'm sinking

In a sea full of demons.

You see, my demons are the battles...

Demons fight their battles with fire...

But I am not fireproof...

Every demon is fighting the same war.

The war my brain has destined against me.

Everyday

Every battle

Every single demon

I fight harder

I try and try but...

They never stop, they don't show mercy

Their only goal is my demise...

I feel like I'm sinking

In a sea full of demons.

Every battle I win,

Keeps my head above water,

But when I'm not strong enough to fight

They drag me down

Into the dismal abyss of my existence.

A place that I dread to be...

I feel like I'm sinking...

In a sea full of demons...

For now, I can breathe...

But what happens when I hit rock bottom?
