It comes silently and zaps you.
It takes you away and leads you down the stairs to gloom.
No one knows how deep you go and how hard it is to hold on.
It wants to take you in its grip and lead you to your death.
It takes away all of your joy, your optimism, your strength,
And leaves you suffering.
It is evil; it is unrelenting and cruel.
It wants to grab you and destroy you.
It is a curse.
It wants you to follow its path.
It cannot leave you alone
It wants to ruin your joy and happiness.
It pits you against everyone around you.
It makes you unable to cope with the world.
It leaves you stunned and wondering what happened.
It is a mortal enemy who hunts you, stalks you and takes you down.
Will you let it win? No, not if you can help it.
You need to have all of the gear, the understanding and advice to repel it.
You need to stand strong and not let it outsmart You or catch You unaware.
Curse the evil and do not let it enter.
