It is sad to hear <br />that you are still in the arms of depression. <br />He is a deceitful lover. <br />He invites you into his arms so subtly. <br />You think you are being comforted, <br />while he sucks all the juice out of your brain. <br /> <br />Some do battle with depression, <br />others give up and listen to the siren song. <br />They go deeper and deeper into his arms <br />until there is no light. <br />There is light on the other side. <br />A tiny starburst, <br />is trying to break through the abyss. <br /> <br />Open your heart to the light. <br />Trust that there is hope, <br />grace, and peace. <br />Believe that the light <br />is a better lover <br />than the darkness.<br /><br />David Michael Barnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/falling-into-the-arms-of-depression/
