Dear depression,
I can feel that you're still here.
After all this time,
I thought you'd leave,
Fade away, follow another being
But you're still right where you used to be,
At the back of my head,
Stretching your arms wide and open,
Engulfing me whole,
Your palms blinding my eyes
And suffocating my soul so that I may not breathe,
You never let me speak
Dear depression,
What is it that you want from me?
Destruction?
If so then loosen your grip,
Just a little and let me scream.
I promise I'll scream louder than the sea.
I'll deafen everyone who dare to breathe.
I will leave the world around me in ashes.
But please,
Please just let me breathe.
It's okay if I'm blinded for a while,
I've been finding my way through dark alleys my whole life,
I can continue to walk with my arms outstretched,
But if u kill me now,
Tell me what are you going to do with my lifeless body?
Will you abandon me then?
Will you finally find a new host?
Maybe someone who loved me, Someone I left in misery.
If that happens, then leave them soon, You aren't meant to be together for long.
I see that you chose to stay right where u are, again.
