I have suicidal depression--                                         and no,  I don't want to tell you about it. I'd rather hide it from you (if I could) And bury it the way you might do with someone you once loved Maybe sharing their pain if only just for the moment... I don't want you to sympathize with me either. It's not that kind of sad I'm afraid.. I need this to hurt me, because if it doesn't I won't learn that it isn't okay to feel this way. A long and outlasting life will be my punishment for this.  I will die in valour and bury this axe where cessation lies dormant Never to be shared with you My sickness fully contained.  I will vanquish this demon inside myself. I will starve before it feeds. I solemnly swear this exorcism on your behalf. You will never know My pain.
