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...
