Dear Depression:
Thank you for
passing by again.
Thank you for the
constant feeling of
tiredness and fatigue
Thank you for
convincing me to not get
off of bed, to not take a
shower and to stay
in the pyjamas I've
had on for the past
week
Thank you for making
it hard for me to
find interest in my hobbies
and dreams
For letting me scroll
on social media for hours
For reminding me
that I am not worth it
and that I do not
deserve to live any
longer
Thank you you for luring
me away from hope
and peace.
Dear Depression,
Thank you for passing
by again.
