Depression

I made a friend...

In the summer, I made a friend...

He doesn't like my family, I made a friend...

He doesn't like my other friends, I made a friend...

I'm in so much pain, I have a friend...

He numbed me so well, I have a friend...

He talks to others too, I have a friend...

But no one can see him, I have a friend...

After a couple months I lost him, I had a friend...

But he came back and wouldn't let go, I have a friend...

He's always been there for me, I have a friend...

When I lost lovers, I had a friend...

When I lost family, I had a friend...

When I was shunned, I had a friend...

When I rubbed my thigh raw, I had a friend...

When the marks wouldn't show, I had a friend..

And I want him gone, but I made a friend...

Let's be friends! :)

Hi! This poem is so sad. I hope you have someone you could talk to and get through this with. Contact me or message me if you want someone to talk to. No one should go through depression alone. :)
