Depression

Depression:

Depression is a common thing,

something you wish to fling,

you don't know why it's there,

nor does your therapist.

You want to jump outta window,

your heart says "if you say so",

but you hesitate and don't,

but some do and some won't.

 I've struggled with it dearly,

shooting up sincerely,

wasting time and my will to live,

for something in my brain to give. 

To give hold to something new,

and to forget the old.

I see my colors and I don't get what they mean,

maybe possessiveness of green,

or trust and peace of blue.

Depression is captious towards yourself,

constantly denying your mental health.

Second guessing,

never resting,

far away from what you used to be,

and vice versa.

It's an old game of do so or say,

constant cliches.

Never ending doubt, 

and constant sniffling of your snout.

Literally crying a river,

and drowning in it.

you feel like you're the only one,

you're your mind but your mind has won. 

Confusing your self with what is real,

trying to negotiate with yourself and make a deal.

All I know is that depression sucks,

and that you really learn to not give any fucks.
