Depression

Location

Ticking ticking ticking ticking

in my head.

No escape.

My mind races

faster faster faster faster

trying to evade

the Hate

that's built up inside of me.

Running running running running

away

from what's inside of me

the part of me that

I

Can't

Control.

Get out get out get out get out

I tell it

over and over

but it won't listen.

It's getting bigger now.

Growing growing gowing growing.

Will I ever be able to

stop it?

I hope I pray I beg I scream

please

get

it

out.
