What Defines Me

She asks me what I think love is,

But I do not have an answer.

The rawness of my throat,

Constricts me from answering,

And stops me from setting my emotions free.

I can tell that is her goal,

But why does she try,

When she knows,

That when she needs me to provide my shoulders,

I will not be able to help her.

I will fill my shoulders with excuses,

And with regrets.

My depression will define me once again.
