I Don\'t Know How to Explain It

I don\'t know how to

Explain my depression.

 

I\'ve been high three times in

My life, each

Time I wasn\'t even supposed to

Survive.

 

It was dark and cold even though

It was spring and I can only

Remember four moments across

All of them, and by all of them I

Mean I can\'t remember the first two

So really just the third one.

 

I think depression is like that.

I can\'t remember things anymore;

Feels like a fog and I swear I\'m always

Hiding my eyes so people can\'t see

How dilated my pupils are.

 

The thing is,

Pupils also dilate when you think of

Something you love.

When I think of my depression

And all the shit I did to hurt outside

Like I did on the inside,

I swear one would assume I\'m

Thinking about her.

 

The thing is,

Pupils also dilate when it\'s dark,

So they can let more light in.

I couldn\'t see the light.

I swear I tried, maybe not as

Hard as I could have,

But I tried and the light wasn\'t there.

 

I don\'t know how to

Explain my depression.

 

I guess I could explain it

As if it\'s a weighted blanket.

That is to say,

I can\'t sleep without mine anymore.
