Depression,
Is like a friend.

An abusive, manipulative,
Yet caring and comforting
Friend

Depression
For me
Feels like home

It wraps it's arms around me
And shelters me
Warning me about
Everything on the outside

Depression
Whispers to me
Telling me everything will be okay
If I lay in bed all day

It molds itself into a pillow
Comfortable
Making it easy to sink in
Making me weak
Making me give in
To the numbness
And sleep

I do everything I can to resist
But no matter what
Depression is already one step ahead

It pulls me down
Farther and farther
Until I finally give in
And sleep
