Today

Trying to get through the day when I'm depressed is like this.

I don't want to get out of bed today.

I don't want to get high today.

I don't want to eat today.

I don't want to laugh today.

I want to pull the covers over my head.

Forget my problems so I can sleep alone.

I feel as if I'm sinking into darkness,

The Queen of pretending takes a leave from her throne.

I don't want to talk today.

I don't want  to sing today.

I don't want to smile today.

I don't want to breathe today.

I want to stare at the wall for hours,

My mind numb from the pain inside me.

I try to fight back against the power

That my mind has over my body.

I don't want to feel today.

I don't want to see today.

I don't want to think today.

I don't want to do... anything.

Depression wins today.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Author's Note

Sorry, I feel like I can't write as of late. All of the stuff I'm coming up with is really cheesy and unoriginal, I don't know, kinda in a rut lately.

"I'll try again tomorrow"

Many times I've repeated this to myself when I have those days. Despite whatever feels, the most positive thing is there's a new day tomorrow. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed the piece and that it seems as though you write exact moments and emotions to get through. That's the most authentic you can get. Stay up and keep writing! Cheers!
