Depression..

There was little left to do but
Watch the wallpaper peal off
A delapidated apartment..
Self defeat had come full
Circle
Reality had delivered it's
Final death blow
You were nowhere and
Nothing in the scheme
Of things
Thoughts of suicide were
Your only midnight comfort
The criticism drummed through
Your mind like an orchestra
Marching to your funeral
The same old taunts echoed off
The walls of your impoverished
Existence
You were never good enough..
You were told to go away
Stay away
Start today!
You would never:
Measure up
Make it work
You're just a jerk
Your're too fat
To skiny
To dumb
Your brain is numb
You'll never:
See the light
Win the fight
Your hell is right!
Why don't you just:
Lay down, forget
The crown?
Give it up
Roll under a truck
Don't spit
Just sit
Eat sh*t
Die today
And right away!
Don't fake it
You'll never make
It
You were born to
Lose
Take a snooze
God hates you and
So does your cat
Write it down
It's just like that!
Here! Take this pill
It's your final thrill!
Load that gun
It's sooo much fun!
We gotcha now you
Piece of crap
You'll never figure
Where it's at
Go ahead you miserable
Bit*h
Come lay down in
This filthy ditch
Wasen't it fun all
These years?
Hearing us mock
Your pathetic tears?

The causes of depression are
many and varied. Seek help.
Once depression starts rolling
it can become an unstopable
freight train and self talk can
become absurb. God bless you!
