I was barely a teenager
The first time I tried to kill myself.
I say first time, because I know it won't be the last.
That's the thing about depression,
It never really goes away.
It's like a virus,
A parasite.
It feeds on you.
Getting stronger,
As you get weaker.
You can suppress it
If you take the right pills.
But it's always going to be there.
It makes me wonder when the virus actually dies…
When it finally takes your life?
