Miserable mind who tries to trick,
Casting shadows on light.
You must stop this now!
Your presence continues to cause doubt,
Fear, disbelief and worry.
Anxiety moves in quickly,
Oh so familiar, so disturbing
so controlling.
Move away from me,
wait, bring me something that hurts.
I do not deserve,
there must be something wrong here, she cries!
Comfort is warm and welcoming
and feels wonderful and joyful.
Rise up and stand firm
as darkness tries to win
Stop this battle...please!!

This makes me think of two things, the first (and probably because it's where I am emotionally) is the fight between heart and head. The heart can't say no, but there’s fear and doubt, and with that isolation. Still the heart can't stop, no matter how the head say's enough is enough. Ok, and the second is depression, as you speak of darkness it makes me think of someone considering the end, and fighting that desire.
Really, who knows, I could be way off but isn't that poetry! :) Another great read. ~ Nixie

Damn depression...go away! Know these feelings all too well.... too bad it's so much like a spiral slide, the deeper you go the faster it hits.
The good news is, you are not down there right now.
Thumbs up on this poem and your candor to share.
