\u00a0<\/p>\n
It caught me unawares.<\/p>\n
I was going about my life minding my own business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was happy and content keeping to my lane.<\/p>\n
I fought shy of other people’s lives, for my cup was full.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I never saw it coming.<\/p>\n
How could I have noticed it?<\/p>\n
You see, my nemesis tiptoed on cushioned feet and struck me from behind.<\/p>\n
I hit rock bottom, flat on my face as depression walloped me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was down, but not out.<\/p>\n
“I don’t go down easy,” I reminded myself.<\/p>\n
I resolved to stand my ground.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t slumping back into that dark abyss.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I am weak, but I will fight,” I hyped myself up.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t going to be pretty, but I was determined to claw, scratch, poke, and bite my way back to life.<\/p>\n
I have been wrestling with my foe, moment by moment, minute by minute.<\/p>\n
I am inching forward till I get up, even if my feet wobble, I will stand again.<\/p>\n
