Depression

Depression, is a load I bear.
The weight of it sometimes crushes me.
Of things in life, I cannot enjoy as I should and once did.
I have tried as I might to shake it off, to no avail.
It haunts me night and day and has been with me for many a year.
I do try to rise above it with little success, that only adds
to the degree of it.
I suffer you see from a condition called cluster headaches which goes
hand in hand with depression.
That insidious demon only makes my depression all the more complex.
The few moments that are good help me forget this despair but,
it seems to creep ever persistently back.
Constant, determined, foreboding.
It robs me and those around me of life which I feel guilty about.
It's a vicious cycle.
Many have tried to ease it from me and to them I am forever grateful.
They had no idea the depths of it as they were up against an unwilling foe.
I share this, bearing my soul and can only hope the world won't stomp
on my ever weakening spirit.

*My fellow cluster heads and supporters... we all share something in common.  
This is not a cry for help, but it's something I wrote about.
I wanted to share it with you, since you might have been in this place before.
