Depression is my painful addiction that doesn't quit after twelve steps.

Redefining the definition of trapped, the terror like an anchor tied to my body.

Lost at sea in a wave of emotions, wishing to be swallowed.

Because I love you I am not afraid to face my next tomorrow.

Together we will stand to fend off our demons, as I fear I have succumb to mine.

Being sober now has granted me life.

Because I love you, I have the power to love myself

I have the power to forgive myself.
