My new friend

2am in the morning

I'm still awake

Because of my friend depression

Who gave me a shake

He sits there staring

With a scary grin

That's when I know

My patience has worn thin

I'll sit there for a bit

I'll mutter “im in pain”

I'll talk to him more

I feel like I'm going insane

I can't do this anymore

He reminds me every night

And he always gives me reasons why I should give up the fight

He’ll whisper in my ear

And he will make me cry

Until my heart feels empty

And I want to die

I gave up hope

Everyday an emotional scene

While people would judge and say

“She can't be like this she's only eighteen”

But depression knows no age

Or cares who you are

As long as you listen

And don't rise too far

Your a perfect victim for the man

Who sits on your shoulder and whispers in your ear

He's always around

And knows your deepest fear

A slice of my skin

Will pay my debt

Of being too happy

He won't let me forget

A feeling so empty

The feeling inside

Like I'm never good enough

Like something in me died

His sharp teeth covered in blood

The blood of hearts he's stole from

His eyes are thin and piercing and mean

Hes someone I can't explain to anyone

A monster, a devil

Something from hell

I need help from this creature

But there's no one to tell

My friends would be worried

They didn't understand

That a demon was controlling me

He had me in the palm of his hand

Depression is his name

That he wears with vain

Now everytime I can't get out of bed

Because there shackles and chains inside my head

And someone corrects me on my hygiene

And I tell them that I physically cannot get myself clean

That I struggle to get up in the morning

Because I'm dying inside

That everytime I go to bed I hope that by the morning ive died

But he controls everything about me

So what am I supposed to do

tell them about the little man and how he whispers in my ear

If only you knew

How he bullies me until I cry

And when he makes me want to die

Who do I tell when they don't listen

And the stars are bright and the moonlight glistens

When I just want to go to sleep

But he's always near

He's always there

...He is my worst fear...
