Thing Within

There is something deep within me,
it stabs at my soul.
It causes my depression,
it wants to take control.

The thing inside hurts me,
it makes me want to die.
I pretend that I am strong,
but when I'm alone, I cry.

I want to fight this thing,
I want it to end.
It causes my worst fears,
and won't let my heart mend.

Everyday I try to fight it,
but I always lose.
I try to think differently,
but I'd have to change my views.

This thing has control,
and I am not able.
I am growing weak,
and soon will be unstable.

I have too much fear,
and a lot of strife.
I want to kill this thing,
but it has my life.
