A poem by a depression survivor

It refuses to see the positives,
Insists they are not there.
Concentrates on the negatives,
In these, it builds its lair.

It doesn't care for those who love you,
Shuns those that you held close,
They've turned away and nothing you can do,
Will get back the ones you need most.

It leaves you feeling all alone,
With nowhere left for you to turn,
Your frown it seems is set in stone
From the pain you feel as you burn.

It doesn't value your life,
Makes you want to take it.
When this evil is holding the knife,
It's fifty-fifty whether you'll make it.

We need to help those who are losing this fight
As they can't help themselves out,
Its powers are second to none, yeah right.
If we try, we can beat this no doubt.
