I Have Ahold of Depression

It doesn’t have ahold of me

By Amanda M BuggPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I have ahold of depression

It doesn’t have it’s hold on me

Joy has been taken out of my life

But it will not take my glee

I have ahold of depression

It doesn’t have its hold on me

I have a horrible disease

Sometimes this life, I want to flee

I have ahold of depression

It doesn’t have it’s hold on me

I often feel alone

I don’t want any company

I have a hold of depression

It doesn’t have ahold of me

Lying in bed for days

Only getting up to pee

I have ahold of depression

It doesn’t have it’s hold on me

This cloud that surrounds

Feels like I’m drowning in the sea

I have a hold of depression

Sometimes it has ahold of me

I have ahold on depression

Let the fuck go of me!
