Not Giving Up

My heart felt broken again, 
Threatened by my old enemy.
    Depression
      attacking
                despite
                         My Efforts 
                               to keep on going. 

Not wanting to go back to giving
      my well-being 
             over to a failed
      pharmaceutical, 

THAT

      never completely worked, 
      causing other problems
         I   D O N ' T
      have to deal with anymore.


Prayer
Work
Scripture
Rest
Faith that the process will work:
the depression won''t last.


I have to find another way:
Give it time.
Don't give in to the feelings.
Feel them.
Then,
Move on.
Keep moving.

Hey!  
It's working!
Prayer
Talking to a Friend
A Little Pink
Work
Scripture
Less Worry
   
and

Stepping back to the things that give me peace, 
I am breathing free again.
