The Brunt of Me

The brunt of me. 
Ends up bursting and unsalvageable. 
Maybe I have another pill in the corner of my mind. 
Just churns into the slop. 
And lets out a bellow. 
Everything about depression. 
Just teeters around in a crusty way. 
But it is thorough. 
Is loving as a centipede. 
The brunt of me. 
Doesn’t end, just creates spots in my eyes again. 
Bursting and unsalvageable. 
I had a plan to build a new mind out of blades of grass. 
It stayed up longer than expected.
