How depression swarms you

In all honesty, I forgot about this poem haha.



Darkness snatches,

 At the sunlight patches. 

Pouncing like a cat,

 Always makes it's way back. 

Rose petals wilt,

 As my world begins to tilt.

 Everyone jumping to conclusions,

But in reality, its just some illusions. 

Vented through art,

 But then judged so I vanish into the dark. 

A bright sunny day,

 But I perceive it all as grey.

 Everyone's off in their groups or pairs,

 And then there's me who'd like to disappear.

 Like an Apple that's been bitten,

 I'm unwanted and forgotten. 

Sad inside but nobody sees, 

If only I could fly away with the breeze. 

I'm chained to the ground, 

Thought to be safe and sound. 

But the monsters are inside me, 

And everyone just wants me to flee.

 Sometimes I stick out like a sore thumb, 

I just feel so numb. 

Other times I seem to be nothing, 

 I think my friends are just bluffing.

 My mind wants me to yelp,

 But I really don't want the help.

 I only want to survive,

 But it's so hard to stay alive.
