My Dear Depression

It creeps up on you like a shadow
A shadow of self hatred and loathing
Waiting for the perfect moment to strike
When you're at your weakest and lowest point
It always knows what will set you off

It doesn't care who it hurts
As long as it hurts you the most
It twists and contorts your world
Until all you see is darkness and misery

There is no escape
For it's all in your mind
You'll never be alone
You'll never want to see the sunlight again
Your mind will soon forget what the world looks like

"It's all just a act" they say
"A way to get attention" others say
But you wouldn't say that if you were
Inside my head for just one second
You'd see all the horrors my mind has created
All the twisted and sadistic thoughts it has made

Because my dear
Depression is a killer
And it won't stop
Till the job is done.
