Lightless
May 29, 2017
Depression is rain flooding over me,
Anxiety is a plastic bag over my head.
Both controlling my every move,
making me fear the most simple things.
I fear to close my eyes every night to face my thoughts alone.
I don't have a reason to pull myself out of bed.
I feel nothing and everything all at once.
The weight of everything keeps piling up,
suddenly it completely crushes me,
leaving behind only memories of how I once was.
