The strength of the mind.

A poem about depression.

The pain is strong,
The chasm's call.
Will I stand,
Or will I fall?

What holds me now
In this firm embrace,
And brings these tears
Upon my face?

The truths, the lies,
The unmet needs?
The anxiety and hurt that
Brings me to my knees?

The concern of what is known
And the worry of what's not
Clouds my mind each day.
Which in turn makes it quite difficult
For me to find my way.

The greatest fear that plagues me so
Is that this force will win.
And pull me over the chasm's edge
Where I shall meet my end.
