My Old Home

Depression is like an old abandoned house. 

A bit unapproachable to others. 

But this house is my sanctuary. 

It is delicate. 

It is dangerous. 

It has held strong for so long.

I know I should just tear it down…

But knowing me, I would just live in the rubble. 

And that would be worse. 

And depression can always be worse.
