I have been dealing with Depression since I became Allergic to Latex. I was unable to work any more, because Latex particles I inhaled into my lungs. Now I have Respiratory problems. The Doctors at that time did not understand Latex Allergy. Some Doctors did not believe that Latex Allergy was so bad, it was all in my mind. 1) Depression
Depression Is the Monster That Lives Within Me Depression is the Monster that lives within me Sometimes I cry so hard that my eyes are swallow And it seems as though my tears won't Stop flowing down my cheeks In my despair is so convicting that I fell lost and alone This Monster that I call depression He takes me by the hand He takes me to a place where I fall, fall and continue To fall until darkness surrounds me I don't even know why he follow me I know how he finds me But he is there waiting lurking and always Ready to Devourer me I don't know how I arrived at this place Where emptiness just Smile at Me Depression has its own Mine and Spirit He puts me in a hole where all of the tunnel walls Led me to more dark tunnel walls I try to climb out there is no ladder or a rope to escape I even try to fight him with my boxing gloves on But at times his Manipulative voice over powers me So I lose again time after time I am on my knees praying that this Monster which he call himself Depression Leave me alone! Taunting me in my dreams where I thought I was safe From being Victimized No! Never! He tells me with Smirk on his face Then he just laughs He believes that his Wisdom is Great and that he will Always have me feeling Pessimistic I sit alone with Silence Until I hear my heart shatter like a Crystal Glass Faith! Faith! I am calling your name Can you hear me? Smile at me and show me your Wisdom Allow me to touch your Spirit and embrace Intelligence Look for Love for me Tell her that I need her light So my shattered Heart can be mended Then the healing can begin The Monster Depression will have no place For his Wisdom within me My Heart would then be free like a flower blooming In the Spring time Awakening from a deep Sleep Full of Beauty and Love Marion Ronee Daney 3/03

Hi Marion this is a great poem and you are one of the few people I know that admits the battle between good and evil that so often attack us. I defend that depression battle with this scripture. 2nd Corinthians Chapter 1 verse 7 : God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind! You are a very Gifte poetess welcome to Authorden. Peace!!!
