You envelope me in your big, strong arms, Coax me into staying in bed just one more day. "You don't need to go to class," you tell me. So I don't. I know that I should go, That I should want to go, But your grip is so tight that I can barely breathe. You are the dominant one in this relationship. I think I tried to fight it at first, But this has been going on for so long that Somewhere along the way I stopped trying. I stopped fighting And let you take me over. Sometimes I don't know where you end and where I begin. You and I are so intertwined. I would love to experience life without you, But I don't think I would know how to. Unlike everyone else who has come and gone like the tide, You've stuck around. You're the only constant I've ever known. I guess I should thank you for that.

Dear Depression
You envelope me in your big, strong arms, Coax me into staying in bed just one more day. "You don't need to go to class," you tell me. So I don't. I know that I should go, That I should want to go, But your grip is so tight that I can barely breathe. You are the dominant one in this relationship. I think I tried to fight it at first, But this has been going on for so long that Somewhere along the way I stopped trying. I stopped fighting And let you take me over. Sometimes I don't know where you end and where I begin. You and I are so intertwined. I would love to experience life without you, But I don't think I would know how to. Unlike everyone else who has come and gone like the tide, You've stuck around. You're the only constant I've ever known. I guess I should thank you for that.
