describe depression.
I know many challenges on here are "fun", but I wanted to get more serious with this one, especially considering that many (myself included) experience or have experienced some form of depression. It's almost like a taboo- you may feel uncomfortable writing about it. But just try to describe this darkness- look it in the eyes and see it for what it is, record your insights here in any form. Remember to tag me @Dream.

Twisted Surrender

A spiral staircase

Spiraling, spiraling

Out of sight

And out of control

Like everything around me

At the bottom

It towers over me

Like a tyrant

Controlling, controlling

I’m tied to the strings

On the end of its fingers

A marionette

Dancing, dancing

Helpless without its consent

Strings that will never be cut

And I will never be strong enough to break them

Surrendering, surrendering

To steps I cannot climb

Endless steps

Have worn me out

Before I even began
