She sat with her head down low
and thought of how this should go
how she would look at him and say
how she loved him from May to May
and how she put her heart in his hands
and he dropped it in the beachy sands
buried for another to find
lost forever and said to be divine
a story of the girl
who loved a boy as though he was the world
and the boy was a torn stitch
unprepared to take the pitch
and its funny how love works
and the pain behind it lurks
as though a wolf in a sheeps skin
she said his love for her was too thin.
so she moved on and found a new home
in her heart and mind she made a dome
and promised to love herself in ways
he couldn't seem to love her in days.

Oh goodness here you are again
Lurking be beneath the surface of my skin
Always there when I need you the least
Like karma, like me
You broke me and tore me
You are the starless and darkest nights
You are the shadow that followed me around
You are the demon that taunted me when I was alone
So here you are again
Sitting beside me as I write
Whispering silent nothings into my ears
My pain, my fears
You were screaming and begging
For me to allow you in
Saying you wouldn’t hurt me
But guess what…. You did.
I cried and you sat beside me
I tried to look to the light and you swallowed me whole
You want me dead
You’re in my head
And as I lay in bed
All you said
“Hey girl, look at you, broken and tired, there’s only one thing to do”
But HEY DEPRESSION
Look at me!
I’m finding light against your darkness
I’m finding stars in your black sky
And hey look at that, my shadow is me!
You are a creation in my mind
And my mind is my sanctuary
You’ll soon be a ghost
Right now you’re just a memory
But I know you’ll come back just like night and day
And sure you’re the night
But I’m stronger now
And I’m not afraid of the dark
So hey Depression
From here on out, you no longer look down on me.
