Depression is like
Living in a constant
Lightning storm.

You're stuck in the
Dark and left feeling
Cold.

Lightning continuously
Goes off and keeps
You scared to go outside.

So you don't go out.
You isolate yourself and
Try to shut out the storm.

But staying inside
Makes the storm
Bigger and stronger.

After sometime you might be
So desperate for the storm to end
You let the lightning hit you.

After this one
Of two things
Will happen.

One, you wake up
On the ground in
A dazed state.

Maybe you realize
Your dark state and get help
Or maybe you let yourself be hit again.

Two, the lightning
Snuffs out your
Beautiful light.

The storm will have
Won and taken something
So precious.

Don't take the risk.
Don't let the storm win.
Don't let your light be snuffed out.

There are people who love you.
People who want to
See you happy.

So reach out and ask
For help from those
Who love you.

The storm will
Subside with time
And love.

There is always hope
Just past the
Darkness.
