Depression

Location

It's the chemical creation that's emotionally fueled

And the tears behind clouded eyes

Unable to be loosed

 

It's killing yourself 

With the feelings of self-hatred

 

It's the darkness

That takes over your head

The horrible words that

Overpower everything else

You would rather be

Thinking...

 

I can't help 

The way I've been living

Or the horrible monster

That depression turns me into

 

I can't handle the anxiety

Riding on this creature's back

 

So I lie in bed

With no energy

Yet still fussing over all of the things

I know I must be

Failing

 

But I can't bring myself

To do Better

Or to "Hang On" anymore

 

I'm slipping and sliding

Into a bottomless 

Pit

 

People try to throw me ropes

But they slip right through my fingers

I've lost all of my Hope

The blackness has swallowed me whole

 

So, I give up! You win!

Dearest depression, I'll just

Give in

To your dangerous, alluring, killing embrace

 

Why can't you stop killing me yet!

 

 

 

why should i even stay alive anymore...

 

i could just end it all

with a dagger or a knife

i don't have a gun

but i have blood

and i would love to see it all pour out

 

so this is it

i give up 

it's through

depression

anxiety

society

abusive family

congrats

you've killed me
