Depression means I don’t swim in the ocean anymore Because I’ve spent days drowning In my own bed
Depression means I don’t hug people anymore Because every time I let go I feel guilty for letting go Too soon Or too late
Depression means I am difficult to love Because I need you to be with me But not too close or too long But don’t stay away Because I get lonely but also Need isolation because I’m an introvert Because my love language Says I like receiving gifts But whenever I get a gift I feel like a burden And I’m not worth whatever you paid for this Because I have put a cost on myself On my happiness On my mind Because anything more than $75 an hour Won’t get me a return on my therapy investment Because I sometimes see myself in the mirror And wish I could disappear
Depression means Life and death don’t feel all that different Because they’re both terrible ******* options
