Symptoms of the Depression
There is no time
to explain all those butterfly thoughts
my stomach is clenched in pain
i feel no misery like this without that and there it shall remain
I smile at the capital letters that avoid me like traffic
i write lowercase everything because it matters not
my mind plays tricks on my body
my mind plays tricks on my body
my body can't remember the last time it felt afloat
emotions and time are two things I never have enough of
I felt strong enough to admit my weaknesses
my limitations are pages torn from notebooks
i cry when a notebook is engulfed in a literary flame
i cry when the parents of a friend refuse to let me speak to them
i have crawled out to the ends of the Earth
I laugh when Jupiter shows itself next to the moon
I am proud to call myself a winner
when i lost everything -including you
