Like a Rug

Being depressed is like a rug. Has fibers and some small fibers tear away. And no one notices. Everything is frayed, and funny. So I laughed at the blinds opening and closing. I’m never ready for bed in time. So I just get depressed by the lamp light. Being depressed as a rug. Being vacuumed and swallowing the filth. Slithering around the room. Tearing away from the shadows. Into more shadows. Being depressed is like a 100 year old rug. That got taken out of storage. And thrown away.
