Dear depression

You come knocking

But my brain can't

Handle you anymore

No one can

I try to 

Block you out

But I can't 

You squeeze 

The life out of me

Controlling how I think

and feel

I feel like 

I'm falling 

No one can catch

me anymore

To fast they say

I can't control how 

I move

Now my life is shattered

You come breaking my walls

Now you think you can 

Kill me

Put these thoughts in my mind

You can't 

But You are 

You are killing me

You are the silent murder

You kill thousands of people

Now I think I'm thinking

I'm invincible 

But I know I'm not

I hind my true self 

Because of you

I read too much or listen too much

You always tell me to stay away from them

Your useless

But people say you can do it 

So please stop

Yeah you get this a lot

Now I'm on medication

To break you

But I can't 

They say your alright 

You don't know me 

I'm a wreak

Taking 9 medications

A day because of you 

and your buddies

Now I try to get rid of you

But I can't 

I pled to you 

To stop 

If you don't 

Then I will stop
