to talk about it

  i'm still really bad at talking about it
  and by it, i mean the creature underneath my bed
  with glass shreds as teeth
  and by that i mean, the girl that looks just like me
  with just more dirt between her finger nails
  by that i mean the walls that squeezes me into my    
  my own chest

and by all of this i mean, my depression
my depression that i'm always trying to filter
trying to personify
because i can't talk about it
i can't be honest about it unless i turn it into poetry
