Analysis of Depression



Trying my best,
Yet it’s never enough.
Drowning it’s deep,
Not being able to breath.
Don’t know what to do
Confusion takes place
Feels like a burden to ask
For you to show me your Grace.
It’s dark,
It’s cold,
I’m lost,
Can’t see.
Help me,
Guide me,
Lord show me the way.
Take these thoughts out my head,
I’m begging
Make them flee.
The devils a lie
Won’t win not today.
I know my worth
Deserve respect,
Love, peace and joy
But my head tells me different
I want it to end.
Not my life Lord
Just depression,
Anxiety and all.
I’m begging,
Believing,
Standing tall firm in faith
You can and you will
Set me free from the lies.
I speak life over me,
My mess can and will be
 A message for all
Who suffer  like me.
