Depression did drain my existence,
Brawling against sadness for years.

Becoming a hostage to mental illness,
Waging a war to be free of misery.

Battling anguish on a rough trail,
The quest to happiness is vicious.

Determined on my journey for hope,
Seeking a path that will end agony.

Barriers block my lanes to blissfulness,
Resisting each hurdle with purpose.

Combating in the most important cause,
Dedicated to win conflicts verses despair.

The pursuit to fortune has finally arrived,
Satisfied by all pitfalls that were defeated.
