Depression Poem by Justin Reamer

Depression,
How I remember thee,
How you consumed so much of my life,
That I cannot forget what you did,
For you were like the Eternal Drug,
That ran throughout my body,
And you would never let go,
And you stayed wherever you pleased.

How I remember the sadness
That came with you,
For you would never let me go,
For all you do is try
To rest within my veins,
And destroy me for everything
That I have.

And how I remember the pain,
And how you stayed within me
For 10 straight years,
And how you tried to damage
All of my relationships,
All of which went to your success,
And nearly killed me on the spot.

And how I remember the emptiness
That came with you,
For all you know is hurting,
And all you know is pain.

Well, depression, I am sad no more,
For I am better off without you,
For Someone has saved me with His might,
And He has granted me the will to live,
So I need you no more,
For God is great in my life,
And Jesus watches over me, as well.
