This Is Depression.

A war with your own mind,
a battle you can never win.
After all, how could you win?
Part of you loses no matter what.

The gears in your mind keep on turning,
opening floodgates to memories forgotten,
reminding you of people that won’t ever be there again,
and people you wish didn’t exist in your life in the first place.

Every stupid mistake that you’ve ever made,
everyone that you’ve hurt,
everyone that has hurt you,
every single one of your imperfections
always on your mind.
