I need some answers now
because I’m running out of steam
Is this a daunting reality
or a terrible ******* dream
Why is there so little known about depression?
Alex B Jun 2018
I used to be no good at taking pills
Couldn’t even swallow a tiny Advil
Dad made me practice with M&Ms and Skittles
But I’ve gotten much more practice since I’ve been ill

Maybe it’s the subtle taste or the horrible smell
That makes the remedy for my cerebral hell
I can’t even begin to show or tell
How badly I wish I was well

Depression, what a horrible thing to catch
Feeling like one in a bad batch
Are these pills a remedy or just a small patch
Or better yet, has evil met its match?

So give me your devil
And just in case you’re skeptical
I’ll raise you my chemicals
Chalky, fishy, colorful, inedible

if only
we had a say
in what happens to us

I don’t want to hear about what you would do to me
If you were here
Or I were there, I want you to tell me
About the way I smile when I’m close to falling asleep
I want to hear all the little things you keep

My laugh when you tell a funny joke
Hand on your chest, arm around your neck
The way I yelled at the morning alarm
Just to stay in bed
The way you say I’m too **** cute
When I tell you 'don’t leave' in a way you can’t refute

I don't remember telling you
That pink roses were my favorite
But you knew
Even sent some too
One thing I do remember
He never had a clue

Thank you

if i were closer to you
and closer to me
maybe
we could be happy
