depression
is like smoking, you see.

when you get the first dose of it, you choke on your own lungs and it's suffocating.

but then
later on down the road
when you've ran out of fucks to give
you realize why the two things are similar.

you cough and choke,
but then there will come a time
when you stop fighting it.

you breathe it in, full throttle.
and you don't fight.
you don't try to get a breath of fresh air,
you don't try to breathe.

it's like breathing underwater.
you stop struggling,
and you breathe through it like it's oxygen.

you stop fighting
and breathe it in
and let it take you away.

stop struggling,
breathe it in.
let it pour over your lungs and heart,
let it wrap around and take hold

when you stop fighting.
