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.
