Alone
August 23, 2014
I've always said "no" to drugs,
"Never" to cutting,
"Certainly not" to drinking.
But this depression is pressing.
It feeds on me like a leech.
Sucks me dry and
Leaves me there still;
Floundering like a dying fish.
Does no one hear me scream?
Does no one care?
No.
No one does.
Because I am alone.
Well and truly.
