Pet

Sometimes I wake up and think "hey, today could be a good day"
And then my shadow comes around and puts on a filter of grey, draining the life out of everything.

I walk and put on a smile because people worry when I show my frown.
In a class of thirty people am I the only one that doesn't have the energy to study Macbeth?

I do all of this just to go home and sleep and repeat and repeat and repeat.
Sometimes I find myself staring into the water and all I have left to decide is whether or not to put on the life vest before throwing myself into the ocean that's waiting for me to die.

Some nights I cry because I miss the breath of my demons sleeping next to me.

Some night I cry because they take up too much of my bed.

Some nights I cry because the darkness doesnt let me see,
Sometimes I cry because I have a monster as a pet.

And I feed it well.

I hate how much I love it.

It's name is depression.
