dear depression,
you were the girl next door,
everything i was curious and scared of
and when you struck me,
it was more shocking than if you came up behind
me and kissed me on the lips
dear depression,
you were my best friend
for so long, my only friend
and when i was going to sleep
you talked to me,
told me i wasn't good enough
but your voice
was better than no voice
dear depression,
you pushed me to the edge
and i nearly tumbled off
but at the end of the day
i am still breathing
dear depression,
you pushed me over,
and i fell
but as i fell,
you whispered in my ear
