Hello Depression
have a cup of tea
these lies of my shattered past
no longer set me free

come on inside
sit down in a chair
i’ve got some devastating news
that I would like to share

you see, last week
i was glancing in the mirror
and saw that those scars I’d constantly hide
began looking so much clearer

their sharp outlines
no longer could be covered
the knife above my wrist
began to drop instead of hover

i pulled back my arm
my life I mistakenly saved
slamming my head against the wall
screaming out in my lonely rage

i sank to the floor
this life was bedraggled, unwanted
but then I realized
it would be easier if my sorrow wasn’t flaunted

i ought to hold my head up high
at least make an effort to be glad
and then I felt something warm
gliding down my back

i rubbed my head
my crimson hand came back down
covered in blood
from the bloody crown

i lay there dying
shrieking out for attention
but then I thought
it wasn’t impossible for prevention

but its all over now
i cant go back
i cant stop myself from doing what I did
that was my own fatal attack

so I’m dead now Depression
just thought you’d like to know
oh, please, enjoy another cookie
i baked them on my own
