The Right Recipe

For Darkness

A little fear

A little loneliness

The right recipe to shed a tear

A tad of darkness

A soft bed

And a few sleepless nights

Here comes a delicious bowl of depression

Just add some overthinking

And blame yourself for everything wrong

Then that one thought pop up

“Life is better without me in it”

Great, here's a nice bowl of suicidal thoughts

    It's so easy to slip downstream, but so much harder to paddle back up. Keep your head up, there is light up here. <3 <3
