Anxiety keeps Depression Up all night and then Depression sleeps All day. And every day they Argue over the things they Did or didn't say Did or didn't do. Sometimes they watch TV together But they never Enjoy it. Anxiety is in college and Depression doesn't help her Edit her papers when She asks nicely. Depression had a good job She enjoyed but she ended up Losing it and now Anxiety Nags at her to find another. Neither of them can Find friends, so even though They hate each other They're all they've got. They keep trying to date But every time one brings Home someone else, the Other scares them off. Depression is messy With piles everywhere But Anxiety keeps the kitchen Spotlessly clean. Anxiety can't stop bossing Depression around But Depression can't stop pulling The covers over her head. Anxiety and Depression Are roommates In a mental Apartment building. And I'm waiting for Anxiety To forget to renew the lease And Depression to be too Tired to do it herself.
