Depression
There are monsters in my head
And they plant poisonous seeds
That latch onto my inner core
Growing roots, so tight and unrelenting
And with every perishing breath I succumb to
The roots squeeze around my heart
As if their disgusting existence depended on
That evil task set before them
I have desperately turned to every source of happiness
I have ingested foreign substances in a
Pathetic attempt to banish these monsters
And their ****** poison seeds
But my options are rapidly crumbling
And the carcasses spite me as
The opposing force loots through
My once dominant empire
And in this moment I have realized
This infamous battle has taken sides with
The clenching roots, feeding them strength
So I raise my white flag and watch
As my insides are clawed at, ripped apart
And I suffer until my final breaths have
Promptly arrived and it is then and
Only then when these monsters peel their ungodly
Faces off that I come to find I am staring back into my own detached
Eyes, but it is too late to stop what I have done because my reality is
Slipping in and out of rationality
Until I am without a doubt vacant
And when the clock pronounces me finished
You will still smell my final moments
As I watch each and every mind replay
My descent with cold eyes and a
Gentle smile plastered with excuses like
The circumstances just weren’t right
*It’s no one’s fault but hers
