16 Married Without Consent

Sixteen married         without consent,
to the one who      marks my body     with inkless tattoos.
   The one who makes       my sleeves bleed and in the dark      beg to leave.

Who turns happy hours    of dancing with laughter        back        into the tired long sad days and      
       turns all of my friends away.                      Who turns all of my smiles               into a frown           while the large world                      suffocates me all around.

Sixteen married without consent ...

To my secret,
       Depression sent.

When depression took over my life I felt as if it was a secret as if no one knew leaving me alone stuck with depression for ever.
