Challenge
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
