Insecure
You were insecure about yourself

Which is why you loved to break me down, I assume

You'd tell me "insecurities aren't cute"
You'd call yourself "useless", "worthless", a "burden"
All of your exact words

You told me you'd move West

Somewhere I had always wanted to go
But not with you

Depression
No, I don't have it.

I don't know what it feels like to break down

To malfunction

To call your friends in the middle of the night crying because you don't want to live anymore

To go to a therapist every two weeks just to tell them the same thing over and over when they ask if you're okay and have them tell you the exact same thing every time you walk into that room.
Those four walls that you dread because it's just another barrier between you and what you long to be.

Okay.

So No.
I don't have depression

But I know what it's like to have your friends call you in the middle of the night crying because they don't want to live anymore.

I don't know what kind of sense of humor you have, but I don't think it's funny when you joke around and tell people to kill themselves because you never know when they're going to actually take your advice.

So please,
Be nice.
