You
Recently, I was diagnosed with depression. I didn't handle the diagnosis well, and reverted into a shell. Luckily my friends and family noticed the warning signs and pulled me out. This poem helped me thank them for their efforts.
You
In a place of evil
Darkness and vile,
You are the light
At the end of my tunnel
I never have to fear
For you will always be there,
Because you are true.
All I need is you.
But when I’m in too deep
In my pit of despair
I fear I will stay
Never to repair.
So with eyes closed,
Heart shattered
I reach for you,
The only one that matters.
You bring me up.
Make me smile.
It only takes you
A little while
To bring me back,
Back to happiness.
