Tears flowing, thoughts negative-

I'm back where I started;

Back into the strains

And pains of depression.

I keep hoping, keep wishing

It would just fade away-

But it doesn't;

It keeps festering and building

Until the feeling is too great.

I know by now that

It's too late and

Now nothing can completely stop me

From spiraling downward.

I continue spiraling downward-

Only because of no way

Of ever stopping to

Try and go back up.

Or,

I try and try-

Time and again I

Pick myself up;

Only to fall down again.

And by now I know

That it's totally okay

And I allow myself

To totally slip

Into depression once again.
