Will you leave?


Dear Depression, 

It's hard to know when you want to hit

It scares me that today may be my last,

because you control my mind,

Day after day I have a smile on my face,

Yet inside my world is a mess,

My friends don't know that you exist,

They see me as a happy girl,

My family can't see what I hide, 

They just think I'm rebellious,

My head is full of questions,

Yet no one has the answers,

Why me? why did you choose me? 

You're like a disease that spreads through my body,

you make me sad

you make me feel mad 

you hurt my mind

you hurt my emotions

You make me see the world as a horrible place,

Will you ever leave?

Will I be your victim forever?

I cry myself to sleep,

Drenching my pillow with tears,

no one can hear me,

no one can hear the pain you cause,

You play a game that I dont want to play,

You know it so well, you know you'll win,

Finally i fall asleep, 

hoping you will leave.
