unwanted guest, living with Depression
i’m sorry
i’m not mad at you
it’s not you
it’s me and my
unwanted guest
she lives inside me
sucking the electricity out of me
sitting in me waiting to drain
every ounce of water
from my body
she leaves my cabinets
empty from all food
she never cleans up after
the messes she makes
my plates and bowls are shattered
she did it
the television hasn’t worked in two months
she took the electricity
its dark in me now
i don’t think she’s leaving
i want her gone
she’s polluted the air
i can’t breathe
sometimes i wish
i’d stop
