When you're depressed and/or anxious a darkness can take over you,

You don't want it to but it's almost like you have no choice,

The darkness is overwhelming.

It grabs you by the shoulders and doesn't let go,

It is always there,

No matter how much you try to stop it.

People will try to shake you out of it,

Only you know the truth,

The darkness can't be stopped.

It will keep you captive until you do something about it,

If you don't fight it will take over you,

You won't be able to breathe or function.

When you feel like you can't fight anymore you just have to remember one thing,

You are a fighter and you are strong,

You are stronger than whatever you are facing.

It might not seem like it,

But there is a light on at the end of the road,

And I promise there is always someone there for you.
