My Depression

My depression is an incredible shapeshifter 

it can be a speck of dust in a skyscraper 

But in most days it is the skyscraper

 

My depression is not a faze

I can’t control it

it is like an unwanted guest at a party

 

my depression cannot be fixed with medication 

it cannot be cured with things that are found in a hospital or a first aid kit

I cannot just stop being depressed 

 

My depression is an asshole 

it comes and goes when it pleases and takes what it wants 

Not caring about my wellbeing 

 

My depression is what keeps me in bed during the day

it reminds me that I have to get out of bed

but at what cost to me?

 

my depression doesn’t define me

it is not who I am

 

depression or not 

sick or not

i am me

 

depression doesn’t define who we are 

we are still ourselves
