dear depression...

Sat, 04/06/2019 - 22:32 -- ddisco

dear depression,

you don't come and go like the seasons 

you stay, but never with good reasons

do you even know the pain you're causing me?

do you know you have my mind lost at sea?

a fight that's not worth fighting for 

one after the other, but always just another closed door   

no one can save me now

i really don't know how 

you're in control of my life 

scars on my wrists, scars on my thighs

and it feels like there's no way out

instead i just always go about

i try and i try to escape from your grip

but you pull me right back in by my fingertip

can't you see i've had enough?

can't you see i'm not that tough?

maybe the voices in my head are right 

maybe i should give up the fight

and it's not that i wouldn't

it's just that maybe i shouldn't 

what would my friends and family do 

they can be the reasons i push through

please just leave already

i can't keep letting you make me feel so unsteady

it's time to separate myself from you

cause every day it's the same feeling of being blue

the other side is just a step away

but maybe it could wait another day
