Old Friend (part 2)- a two part series on Depression and Recovery

(Trigger Warning: mental illness, depression, violence)

Part 1 here (part 2 is better with the context … at least I hope it is)

Scorched Earth

Longer

Hold on
Just a little longer
There’s light at the end of this tunnel

I know
Because I put it there
The last time I pushed through

Demon

I’ve personified you
given you form and face
for my sake

as ether
as void
there is only
how you hurt me

as creature
as demon
you can bleed
I can put you to the flames

Reason

While you were away
I hardened my body
with Iron
Nurtured my soul
with Hope
Filled my heart
with Love
