How do I stop myself slipping back
I've been in the abyss, I know what its like
but still I can feel the darkness creeping up
from below
like a thick black all consuming fog
what else can I do
I've sought help,
I've tried to fix the things that trouble me
but still its there
I feel like its just waiting to grab me
an evil monster from a b grade movie
that lies in wait
and I'm holding on for dear life
grabbing at anything that will keep me steady
but still I slip
just a little
day by day
and I'm so angry,
leave me alone
go away you evil monster
and never come back
don't' take away the happiness I've fought so hard for
I don't know how to fight you
I don't know how to hold on
and I slip back
just a little
day by day

There's an old saying, "To beat the devil, you have to become a devil and a half yourself." Happiness ebbs if we stop being righteous about its preservation. That's what I've found, anyway. It's a powerful poem. Alarming to those who know you, but powerful.
I hope it's not too true.

Sometimes its true, it was when I wrote it, but feeling ok now. Thanks for your concern, as you've probably guessed I worry about people sometimes, its nice to know that occasionally people worry about me in return :-)
