But She Is Not Me

My depression,
She is both sensitive and aggressive.
When I try to escape,
She drags me back down
Back down the dark hole
I've never liked to go.
And in that moment,
Moment of panic and uncertainty,
Of vulnerability and fear,
My entire existence feels like torture.
My depression,
She is parasitic and envious
Of my sunny days.
She is trapped inside of this dark hole
And I am her favorite company.
My depression is often hated by others,
But my depression,
She is not me.

A very insightful write. "parasitic and envious" - great line. "She is not me". Don't let it define you. Great write.

depression really sucks, & sometimes, it even takes us all so far from our own. kinda very deep imagery you plotted around. looking forward to reading some of your work!
