Deep with in this brain Lurks a woman quite insane She rips and tares and eats my soul Slipping out she takes control Ruthless and reckless she is not shy Over takes my thoughts and fly's Darker planes I've never known I sometimes feel no one's home People stare or so it seems And I wonder if I'm imagining She has my mind all turned around Pulling me into the ground How I wish she was not there She makes me feel that I don't care That bit of dust that's on the shelf A mountain to her, but to no one else She yells and screams and stomps about I wish that I could kick her out She sits and cry's for days on end When I am happy she turns up again Pulling me down in to a pit So dark and deep I see no end to it And nothing left of myself I see She takes the very best from me Its as I've been on a binge But never a drop has entered in I walk around all hung over Yet all this time I'm cold sober She has all the fun, so it seems leaving me for the rude awaking Till all feelings are gone from me Including her insanity She does not stop to take a breath My mind, her mind, is on death Through her eyes there is no light Until that time she goes away I pray to make through today Pain is what she is, she is what she gives In my brain she lives I am not myself today tori ©1999 Depression by what ever name its called is something that effects all of us.. Lets try to listen to a friend when they call ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If with pen in hand I've made you think I've not wasted one drop of ink Vlh.
