I can't eat
Sleeping through the night
is almost impossible
My body feels heavy
Everything that I used to enjoy
seems useless
I know there's a name for it
But I don't want to say it
I can't come to terms with the thing
that I've been dealing with
since I was 13
For fear that no one believes me
I don't want to be seen as weak
And I'm not trying to seek attention
I just don't know what to do with myself
Something is wrong with me
And I'm not sure why
But I don't let it consume me like I used to
So it is what it is
I'm sure I'll get by
a note to self: don't let your depression consume you
