I sense my depression knocking again,
A visitor unwelcome, causing pain.
A familiar foe, with a haunting presence,
Creeping in, without any pretense.

I can't help but feel worse than before,
As it settles in, seeping to my core.
A heavy weight upon my chest,
Robbing me of peace, leaving me distressed.

Like a shadow, it follows me around,
Darkening my days, without a sound.
Draining colors from my world so bright,
Leaving me trapped in endless night.

It whispers lies in my ear,
Filling my mind with doubt and fear.
I try to fight, to push it away,
But it clings to me, day by day.

It tells me I'm not good enough,
That I'm unworthy, weak and tough.
It steals my joy and steals my hope,
Leaving me drowning in a sea of mope.

I try to shake it off, to break free,
But it's a battle that's hard to see.
It lingers on, a persistent guest,
Testing my strength, putting me to the test.
