Depression's Game
I invited my friend over
To keep from killing myself
I wish I didn't even ask
Because I now feel trapped
The urge to cut too strong
The will to die to great
I am trying to crawl out of the hole
But it feels like Depression gnaws at my feet
It bites at the nails on my toes
And wraps the tongue around the ankle
It's claws tug at my waist
The aroma of death clings to me
And I'm trying to keep my head
Above the abyss of sadness
But I'm so tempted just to
Let myself sink in
To allow my body to relax
And let depression drag me down
My muscles are sore from holding on
My body is scared beyond
recognition
It feels like a long way
Down to the bottom
But I bet if I let is slit my wrists
I would feel the relief I crave
So monster monster
Hiding in my head
Come out now, come out
It's time for me to be dead
