i know you're depressed know you just don't want to deal with me with anyone don't feel like you can don't feel like you can take anymore don't feel like you can handle it all it's just too much all these people who Love you who mean so well who want to be the one to save you to play the hero be the one to make you smile again they have no idea can't feel what it's like they don't understand that for all their good intentions their affections are just another burden their attempts at Love and comfort just a complicated social dance they're forcing on you
i know you want to feel better know you would if you could but all their attempts to help you just make you feel like a burden to the people you Love the ones you least want to burden and why can't they see that only makes it worse to have to choose between disappointing them when their attempts at cheeriness inevitably fail or lying to them and pretending to feel better when you don't not really just to spare their feelings can't they see that you don't have the energy to even be responsible for your own feelings right now much less anyone else's why can't they just leave you alone
alone
isolated
simplified
reduced
quiet
numb
trying to let the pain fade disappear into nothing at all so in the blessed silence left behind the spark may return just maybe to fan the flames again to build the heat and warm you back to life but only if you can first get away away from all of us and all our Love and affections and our mountains of best intentions only if you can reduce all the noise and complications and lay still in your shallow depression
i know you're depressed i know how you feel i know i can't help i know i'd only weigh you down further and make it harder for you to get up again
