Invisible illness
Laying in my bed I feel it begin again
Same song and dance
I lay my head down on the pillow and the tentacles of depression start to emerge
They wrap themselves around me. Staining everything they touch with their black tar.
They pull me in closer and closer.
One is slowly wrapping around my mouth.
They are slowly crushing my ribs. I cant breathe.
Everynight its the same.
Call me Ms. Jekyle and Hyde
During the day I smile through the pain. Still feeling the tentacles from my depression
They fight to pull me to the ground
Some days they are just tentacles
Others they have a knife
They cut me up. Guess you can call me Sally
Each day noone knows what I go through
When I say what I am feeling I am told to suck it up.
Its the worst battle I have been facing
It seems endless.
The worst part is noone sees my fight
Noone can see my enemy; its invisible
I shout. I swear. I sweat. I cry. I fall down.
Just to get back up and do it the next day
All until the day I die.
Guess invsible illnesses are my husband.
Till death do us part.
