Victim
He’s like a pain in the behind
Locked in chains I can’t break free
His words are pushed into my mind
He is so close to killing me
Trapped like I’m in jail
I can’t see light
Not letting me bail
He keeps me up at night
Now nothing is comfortable- not even a bed
I don’t eat and no one comes to see me
My head hurts and my eyes are red
I try to escape looking for the key
He comes then, his mouth open
I barely hear him- his voice is low
“My name is depression”
He said; his voice echoed
