My depression is my ***** kitchen Sink filled to the brim with ***** dishes Old food left stuck in waiting Much like the thoughts in my head, I have to get water from the bathroom sink, In theory rinsing them after sounds so easy But just the thought reminds of the summer I spent working for my dad power washing old fences.
My depression is my unbrushed hair thrown in a bun everyday Knots left stuck in waiting Much like the thoughts in my head, I tell people I do the same thing because I’m not good at doing hair but I used to love it, In theory running a brush through it sound so easy But just the thought reminds me of when I sprained both my wrists and my body starts to twinge
My depression is the fake teeth stuck in my mouth Because self destruction was never an Option Now it’s become another excuse to avoid connection Much like the thoughts in my head
I tell people I’m shy I tell people I don’t have much in common with anyone else But in my head we’ve become best friends
My depression is the outside stillness Because the unmatched chaos in my head leaves no energy for much else It’s being tired after I’ve slept It’s being hopeless after my personal church It’s being trapped after another hand touches mine It’s being mute with a series of novels to speak It’s anesthesia awareness It’s not being in a dungeon but being the dungeon itself It’s being in a glass box all filled with water but a corner left of air I’m pressed up against to breathe but keep gulping in water Knowing it’s just a matter of time
