POEM Depression

Depression pressing down ,its vice like grip squeezing the last of the rational thoughts from me.
The blanket of fog casting its shadow,blocking any hope of light.The feeling of impending doom,the terrible fear like a rabbit caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.
The loneliness and isolation crashing down like thunder,and the pain inside like lightening striking a tree.
Waves crashing against the rocks,pulling me under,i dont know if i am strong enough to keep afloat.
Water filling my lungs,down i go,deeper and deeper into the despair,no one to notice does anyone care!
Coughing and spluttering im back on dry land,water been pumped from my lungs,arms squeezing me tightly.
A voice whispering in my ear,don't you dare give up,you have to fight.
I try to ignore it and try to give in,but the fog seems to be listening and begins to lift.
The darkness has cracks in where light can get through,slowly moving towards the light,i realise now i have a choice.
Straining to adjust my eyes in the light,i notice it.A hand reaching down,offering me help.
I reach out and clasp it as tight as i can,slowly i am been pulled back up from the depths of despair.
The jaws of depression snapping at my heels,trying to keep control.I hold on tightly as i move up a bit more.
Not quiet at the top yet,but nearer than i am to the bottom.I can see the darkness disappearing,one day there may be only light.
