Depression's Hold- a poem
Depression's Hold
At times my depression has a strong grip on my soul
I can't always break its hold
It's stressful, confusing, and painful
The emotional agony and doubt that it brings
The emotionally draining result of this hold
I wish I could completely escape it for good
My depression's hold causes me to get low
So low to where I feel as if I'm at the pit of hell
O, how I wish to be free!
O, how I want to defeat this hold!
Good day, or bad day
Depressing day, or happy day
I won't question
Because one thing I do know:
My God has a forever hold on this, at many times, overwhelmed soul of mine
And I know with God on my side, I'll be alright
I'll take one day at a time
With patience and perseverance,
I know I'll be fine
