My Friends
I have two friends
I can't seem to defriend them
because they have seemed to mend themselves
deep under my skin,
and not only that
but they have also
entwined themselves into my brain
One's name is Depression
He kind of has this obsession
To kill me slowly with his oppression
and when I try to get rid of him
He shows his agression
And makes me feel like I'm right back where I started..
His possession
Sometimes
His buddy, Anxiety likes to tag along
She likes to make me feel like everything I do is wrong
or that I don't belong
with my group of friends
or even in my own family
She also likes to pick fun at me all day long
about how I dress
How I'm a terrible mess
How I can't seem to impress
because I can't express myself
So at that point I tend to egress
because my mind can't seem to process it
all at once
These two work together
my mind turns to cold weather
because I don't want to hurt
but even when I exert to get them out
They always seem to be there
and I have a feeling they always will be
