Trigger Warning * Talks about Depression
I curl into myself swaddled in darkness.
Feeling a heavy weight on my shoulders.
I try to take deep breaths but struggle to remain calm.
The burden of my expectations weigh me down.
Depression is my only friend.
Comforting me while adding to my sorrows.
She tells me this is how it’s going to be.
You can’t do anything to change this.
This feeling will last forever.
While promising to never leave my side.
I ache with disappointment and sadness.
Longing for a way out.
A resemblance of hope.
Just out of reach.
A shadow of doubt washes over me.
Pulling me into it’s waves.
A sense of calmness comes over me.
As I drown in my sorrow and emptiness.
Thank you to all of my followers for your continued support.
