depression
was more
than storm clouds
it was standing
in the middle
of a field
during a storm
begging to
be struck.
it was seeing
how long you
could stay
underwater.
it was
practicing a
note
and then throwing
it in the garbage.
it was black smoke
in your veins,
invisible to the rest
of the world,
but perpetually
suffocating
its victim.
