Imitation of langston hughes' "white man"
depression
Sure, I know you!
You're depression.
I'm a human.
You take all of our best emotions
And leave us with immense suffering and
An inability to function.
You have a good time making sure we suffer
Every day of our lives
And leaving us with no motivation
And no willingness to live.
You enjoy making us feel worthless
And taking away our freedom.
Depression, depression!
Yeah, I'm talking to you.
You're not supposed to be this hard to shake
Not supposed to be this crushing sense of helplessness
You take everything away
And leave us with nothing.
You've taken everything.
I hear your name and it doesn't even ring true
It sounds too much to me like the word "life"
And I don't want to experience it anymore.
Everyone wants to ignore you.
No one wants to talk about you.
Are you always going to be around?
Will you ever leave me alone?
