Depression is selfish...
It doesn't care
when or where
it thumbs it's nose
as it comes and goes
without warning
leaving mourning
in its wake
you rattle and shake
crying out
bleeding doubt
empty within
yet full of sin
bursting fire
blood-soaked ire.
Depression is selfish...
It never cared
when you were scared
It came for you
before you knew
to be prepared
it stripped you bare
It stole your pride
until you cried
Beat you down
'neath ghastly sounds
took what it wanted
boasted, taunted
it didn't care
when or where
Depression is selfish...
