Dear Depression

why are you here 

why do you cause everyone such a fright

i live in pure fear , fear of every little thing, now  i have constant fear 

Why  do you keep me up crying late at night  

You cause me so much suffering yet you remain unseen

 like  puzzle pieces scattered across the house i dont feel whole anymore 

Thanks to you i feel hopelessly left out as though everyone around me were mean

 you attack I spend each evening thinking  why me while curled up in a ball on the floor 

you make me feel so numb i do anything possible just to feel something anything at all

why cant you just leave me the hell alone  

sincerely  a struggling teen
