Depression is...

playin on repeat

Depression is

Five showers

To just feel warm

Depression is

Your dog knowing

And leaving you

Alone

Depression is

Eating

And then throwing up

Cause you hate the

Idea of gaining

Weight

Depression is

Calling everyone

In your phone book

Cause you regret

Everything

Depression is

Dying a thousand times

To only realize

You’re living

A lie

depression is just a state

that I've been in

ever since that you

called again

playin on repeat

I wonder why

all the missing pieces

were all a lie

that you had to go

and make me cry

never really knowin'

the reason why

I fall,

and yet--

I give it all

away

still, we’re decades away.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
