- Someone asked me "What was your life like before the depression?" And without hesitation, I asked him "Don't you have a better question?" I could not give him a straight answer - For as long as I can remember I had a imaginary companion Living inside my head like he is a rent payer He told me sweet stories His favourite one was "Nothing matters, Dying is way better" - He gave me advice "Cut off your friends and family" he said "Lock yourself up in your room" he said "Starve yourself, nobody cares" he said "Take this razor, be careful it's sharp. Don't say I never got you anything nice" He said while smiling from ear to ear - He called himself Depression He invited himself into my house Along with Anxiety his spouse And ever since they moved in Nothing was the same - Lowkie ®
