When depression comes in waves
It doesn’t just crash at my feet
It barrels over like a tidal wave
And clouds all that I see
As it hits, the pain is familiar
And for a moment, I allow myself to drown
My body sinks down
Until I know I have to come up
So I rush back to the surface and gulp for air
Sitting exhausted, stuck in a stare
Still winded from the impact
Dripping from the storm
The day and its duties have faded
All motivation is no more
The muscles in my body, fatigued
The thoughts in my head, downcast
Appetite and desires, gone
All hope fading fast
All hope within myself
But I remember new hope at last!
Pray.
Pray.
Pray.
Plead for joy
Plead for freedom
I converse with my Creator
And he tells me to come
He tells me to sit close
And listen to his voice
He said he sent that wave
He knew I’d make that choice
He knew I’d come to him
And because I swam to shore
I know the way to find him
Better than I did before
