Depression Days: A Book Of Poems #Wattys2016

Poem 41

Demons filling my mind
Whispering things in my ear
Reminding me of my imperfections
Creating more anxiety,
And causing more depressing thoughts.
Why wont they surrender?
They have done enough damage,
Just from feasting on my insecurities
Driving me back to my friend that never leaves,
Even when i want it to,
My blade.

Its the only friend who has cured my pain
Even just for the while that it helps.
Leaving an impact on my feelings...
And my skin
