A burdensome weighted blanket lays upon me
I cannot escape it
Lovely little pills to cope
But wait
" it's all in your head" they say
" you can get over it" they say
How could they know?
It comes in various shapes and sizes but in the end is always darkness
I fight with everything in my being but always fall flat on my ass
Could it be true?
Doctors poke and prod at me until finally they say
"You have depression."
A diagnosis
A freeing moment
I have depression
