Each day I deflect my depression
with thoughts of something subtle.
Simplicity to drown out my complexity
and shiny trinkets to curb my obsessions.
It is a daily battle
and the troops come in waves,
but I raise my flag for honor
and cling to what set me on this ridge...
Picture perfect smiles,
children laughing,
the games we play,
and rewards for constant effort.
These are but a few of my arsenals.
Nature only shelters my enemy,
but these moments, you and me,
they hold my stability
for achievement.
The battle still rages,
but the king has long since fallen.
Now, it is territory
I must fight to reclaim.
