People are like stained-glass windows.<br /> They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,<br /> but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed<br /> only if there is a light from within.

I think it’s coming back

I hope it doesn’t

I don’t wish to feel the claws of depression

Sinks its teeth into my heart

And rob me of everything I’ve obtained

I hope

Oh dear

I hope this feeling will pass

That my demons I thought I had slayed

Do not rise again

I don’t think my armor can survive

Another battle
