Slowly taking over me
Stalking me amongst the shadows
Its illness never going away
Slowly influencing everything
Friends slowly fading
Family slowly begins to crumble down
It came for me in my dreams
It came for me in the night
It came for me in the day
This is my cancer
Slowing swallowing my life into it's web
The lies could no longer be handled
The truth slowly exposes
It feel the walls closing in on me
As the air gets tighter
I can't breathe
It raped me of my childhood
Raped me of my myself
My family
My friends
Depression became everything to me
Depression became me
Author notes
This is a personfication of depression how it doesn't just came one day and takes over. It's a slow process and it's almost like it stalks everyone.
In a list

Geeez, this had me reading with a lump in my throat. Sadness, darkness and a feeling of being alone and victimized lingered within the lines. Another touching write and this I have witnessed with two of my friends, almost unreachable at times. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from depression grasp. You penned it perfectly when you said "it stalks"...it truly does. Excellent work. You seem to have a gift for expressing emotion to allow the reader to grasp it and feel it. Excellent work and my pleasure to read, a talent you are
