I'll enjoy this high, 
before I die. 
  
It won't last long I know, 
for I can't fight this foe. 
  
He comes, stalking, at night and day, 
I can't keep it at bay. 
  
There is no way I can win this war, 
I don't mean to be such a bore. 
  
There is no way to be free, 
because, can't you see? 
This. Is. Me.

Here's a little bit more: 
  
I'll enjoy this night, 
before I fight. 
Don't worry, I'll be alright 
  
This here, probably the biggest lie, 
I want to die. 
  
Give up, 
don't give up pup. 
  
I don't want to live, 
but you've got so much to give! 
  
So many say, 
but they leave the very next day. 
  
I'm in pain, 
what's a little rain? 
  
Is it enough that you kick me when I'm on my knees? 
I've paid my fees. 
  
Now is it time to leave? 
I wish to receive, 
  
what others search for, 
open the door. 
  
Let me in, 
it's getting cold out here.

Thanks everyone. I fixed up the ending though: 
  
Let me in, 
can you hear me over the din? 
  
It's getting cold out here, 
so let me in, be a dear. 
  
Yeah, it actually illuminates how I actually feel at the moment, I want help, I want to be able to "get out of the cold" but I feel as if nobody will actually let me in. My depression haunts me, never leaving me, always stalking me and waiting to strike when I start to feel bad again. 
  
Thanks all, I always thought poem writing would be just beyond my grasp, seems like I reached for it :P
