"Beautiful" Depression
Depression
is not beautiful.
Depression is the thing
that prevents me
from doing normal things.
Having normal sleep patterns,
getting out of bed on time,
eating like I should,
showering daily,
brushing my hair
going out with friends.
Don’t tell me
depression is beautiful.
Depression is the reason
I haven’t showered
or brushed my hair
in seven days.
I haven’t slept,
I feel sick when I eat,
I never want to get up.
When I sleep,
I have bad dreams.
Waking up,
that’s the nightmare.
