I'm starting to feel better
yes, i'm really starting to
I know i can control this
i know just what to do

it's an intellectual battle
perspectives draw the front line
and the anger marches up
and starts to combine

until it's all I can manage
all the anger inside
and it makes the first move
and the time I will bide

and the depression reacts
it spreads out its wings
around the attacking anger
devouring while it sings

a sick and twisted song
telling me that it's really ok
to give up all hope
and stop fighting today

but my anger is strong
it pushes back my depression
and they stand off just staring
at each others expression

but neither side will give
not even an inch
they have claimed their territory
neither one will flinch

and now it's up to me
to side with my anger
for the only other choice
would put me in danger

so I'm sorry if I'm angry
but this is the reason why
it's how I fight the depression
me, and my anger by my side
