Depression walked into my bedroom tonight.
He shoved me all the problems,
Piled them up high, even past the sky.
Then He tipped over the weights and it came crashing

                                                       ­                                         Down
        
          ­                                                                 ­           Down

                                                ­                                                
                ­                                                                 ­            Down.

Crushing
My every being.

Anxiety walked into my bedroom tonight.
He stole my breath and suppressed my lungs,
Gripped my throat so tight that my soul left my body
And scooted away, flying back home with Depression.

Loneliness walked into my bedroom tonight.
Revealed once again the rejections and isolation,
The pressure to fit in and
The reminders that I can't do anything properly.
The times I was ignored, the times I was shamed,
The times the whole world walked out on me
(Though they never came in).

I thought I would've felt
Alone.
Isolated.
Abandoned.


But thank God for Anxiety and Depression,
At least they stayed with me.
Because at least then, I felt alive.
