i'm crying
alone in my room.
blades in hand,
tissue by my side.

homework is sprawled across the room
my phone lay without notifications.
no one wants me i think
no one needs me

this is what depression is
this is what it does
to you, to your mind.
it leads you to a hole
filled of sadness and darkness
then, it drops you into that hole
but it never ends. you just keep falling.

it ties chains on your legs
and pulls you into the ocean
letting you sink deeper and deeper
flailing and struggling
you can't escape

next thing you know
it's dragged you to the surface
and you're okay again.
