Dear Depression

Dear Depression,

Hello old friend,

It hasn’t been a while,

In fact, you’ve been around too long,

Weaving your dark filter around my eyes

Creating a messed up version of reality where I don’t want to be

You leave fingerprints in memories that should be filled with joy

I try to live without you but you just increase your grip around my neck

Life with you doesn’t feel like living, it doesn’t even feel like surviving

I have to find a way to move away from you

You have haunted my life for too long

I don’t know how much longer I can go on living with you

I need you to let me go

You won’t let me go

Please let me go
