Creeping up day by day. Depression comes tapping on the glass of my bedroom window.

"Hey, look this way," the deepest darkest monster of them all was whispering.

Grab that knife

Grab the pills

Grab the razor

Grab something that will take your life

 

I waited and waited for the demon to go

I kept waiting and waiting, but he wouldn't leave

He stayed and stayed

Then one day, I decided to let the blood drip

The blood ran and ran from wrist to middle of my arm

I looked out the window and saw he was no longer there

I smiled with the content of him being gone

but my smile soon

F

A

D

E

and then my eyes slowly shut

Pitch darkness..

Nothing for long miles until...

The light came back.

I snapped my eyes open and saw I was no longer in my dark bedroom, but a bright hospital room

I looked over at my mom and she had tears in her face and a huge smile.

I sighed and looked out the window.

"Hey, look this way," I heard her say

I looked at her and it wasn't my mom, but the same depression monster

I closed my eyes and took a big breath

Then, I realized I was in my room and it was a normal day

It seemed nothing has happened at all

Day after day

Night after night

Everything seemed normal again.

Each and every night the monster returned, I remained strong and didn't give in to his acqusations.

I was stronger then the darkest demons and I smiled when one day the monster didn't appear in my window.

I smiled more and didn't look back.

I had defeated the biggest baddest monster and I was truly happy

I still moved on even after the monster consumed my mom and took her and my sister away, that was when I promised to not leave this earth due to the depression monster

I fought and I won and started another life.
