Depression
I got to the doctor's office.
I don't want to do this, I think.
No way I'm gonna talk about how I feel.
I entered the room and was told to wait until the doctors came.
The room seems very opposite of how I felt,
Full of bright colors and different cheesy sayings.
Everything is so cheerful.
Why am I here?
Why do I try when everyone is still disappointed when I do?
So what's the point?
Depression.
A chemical imbalance they say, but why.
What did I do to cause this?
Just another reason for them to be disappointed.
Yay amazing caused by my sh*tty genetics no surprise there tho.
What does it mean though just a struggle that ends my life
or just causes unlimited problems I think to myself?
What an amazing life.
I need to get out of this
but I don't know-how,
It gets harder every time I try.
Medications, what would that do?
I mean that probably would help,
but with my luck, it's going to cause just as many issues.
What am I supposed to do, I think to myself?
Fluoxetine, Citalopram they say to my parents as if I care.
Would this fix me?
Just proving my point of all the things wrong with me.
I need to be fixed.
Side effects suicide, stomach issues she counties,
nothing could feel worse than hating every part of yourself I think.
I just wanna go back to my room.
Who cares if I'm lazy or anti-social.
They decided to start me on one.
Positive outlooks on life, my doctor says.
You can tell I have a very good one.
Driving home my mom, seemed very giddy and excited,
As she continued to talk about the benefits of this medication.
Why is this a good thing I think to myself,
It's not a good thing to hate life, but it's also not good to be dependent on medication.
