It hides always waiting.
It does not strike fast
unless it feels confident
that all your precautions are depleted.
Sometimes it sees the crack in your armor
and moves without sound
sliding between the defenses
meant to keep it out.
The problem is in thinking
that the monster is outside of you.
In trying to keep it from entering you again.
You see the monster depression
once it enters,
it never leaves
and you will battle it
for the rest of your life.
Saturn's Premier Poet
