My Depression Lesson
My Depression Lesson
Depression is a snake
...slithering into the psyche...
...creating loneliness...
...constricting the soul...
Obsessively
...living in the past...
...poisoning the present...
...jeopardizing the future...
A parasite consuming
...every thought...
...every emotion...
...every action...
Hiding in the
...darkest...
...deepest...
...most vulnerable places...
A shadow phantom
...floating...
...waiting...
...calculating...
A distant hiss
...panic...
...despair...
...exhaustion...
Whispering
...poisonous memories...
...failures...
...broken promises...
Shouting
...avoid...
...run...
...hide...
Strikes without warning
...incapacitating...
...paralyzing...
...revolting...
Slowly killing
...initiative...
...joy...
...love...
Depression is a snake
Beware.
