Looking in the mirror

Depression.
Its hard to face.
It's a lonely world,
Where's my place?
Every one I care for
Lives so far away.
Why can't I just fly
From place to.place?
Ah that's right!
I weigh myself down
Like chains in a river,
And I quit swimming
Because I don't care anymore.
There's no point in fighting
My demons anymore.
Knock knock
Walk right in
The door is open
Yet closed again.
Who am I?
A stranger
when I look in the mirror.
Will I ever see myself again?
I use to fight
And come back again.
But now I'm lost
Yet no ones fighting.
I gave up.
I came to a stop
Is this the end?
