Depression
Pull up your bootstraps.
The veil is all in your head, not over your face.
Depression will eat you up.
Self -talk becomes tedious.
Sick of my own voice.
Words can’t stop the pain.
Pain can’t stop the words.
My body aches.
Small pills introduce me
to my real self.
A life outside the dark shell.
Sunshine warms my face.
Life has possibilities.
