Favorite Quote:
"Success is falling nine times and getting up ten." - Jon Bon Jovi


It presses down like a storm cloud
Oppressive, stifling
Suffocating

Slowly, it drains you
Until there is nothing left to take
No happiness
No excitement
...nothing

Sometimes
If you are lucky,
It will not last
If you are lucky,
The winds will blow the storm away
Until tendrils of sunlight curl through

And you have something left
Not full,
But not empty either

Just -
...surviving

This is about my struggles with depression, and I wrote it to release some of the feelings I have about this disorder. Hope you enjoy.
