Trapped in depression
Jekyll and Hyde 

Standing on top of a mountain, screaming with my arms spread wide. Something deep within me possesses me, takes hold of me. It's not even me in my body anymore. I don't know this monster that has taken over my body. This depression, this negative emotion, so severe it cripples me. So much emotion that it takes over.

Numb. So numb that tears can't come. And when they do, they sting. Biting my face, making me hate myself even more.

I look in the mirror, and what I see fills me with disgust. I want to slap the image away. Shatter the glass. I have never been filled with such self hatred. I should be my biggest fan, but instead I'm my worst enemy.

There's a demon inside me. I just want to get rid of it... forever.
