Define Depression

Depression is saying good morning even on the bad days Depression is wanting to ask for help but not feeling strong enough to speak Depression feels so bad at times yet at the same time it is my only friend Depression is the toxic relationship I can't leave I always run back to her knowing nothing good lives there But, at least I have a roof over my head right? I don't want to be homeless but the jungle would be a better home Who am I What would I do Who am I What would I do Get a hold of yourself Get some sleep You'll feel better when you wake up Then I close my eyes only to wake up from a nightmare Life and my negative dreams are starting to feel like the same thing But, for the time being I try to press on Sleeping more because my energy is leaving Only to wake up halfway charged with a full plate of to-do's But no silverware So where do I start Looking at the root I'm a wilting rose needing something more to survive So, if I can't be watered I'll use my own tears To learn how to properly grow If I can't get any sun I'll use the heat and pressure from the world as a reminder That doing my own thing is the only way I can glow p.s. my depression is strong but I'll never let it hold me back...
