The Box
#2 of Poetry
This was written in the midst of a severe depressive cycle and may not be for everyone. I suffer from depression and have done so since I was thirteen. More recently it has gotten really bad and lack of funds are making it very hard to maintain the ability to attend therapy. I needed to get something out. This work is literally what is going on in my head right now.
The Box

Fear
Doubt
Self-deprecation
Worry
Pain
Sadness
AGONY
i AM EVERYTHING YOU FEAR
Everything you hate
Everything you know you aren't
Everything you know you wish you could get away from
I AM ALWAYS THERE
In the back of your mind
Whispering ever so slightly
Sometimes you hear me
Sometimes you listen
That's when it starts
I open the floodgates a little
Memories, the happiness, and the pain
The fears, the triumphs and the defeat
All rushes through you like a torrent
Filling you up till you can't take it anymore
Then I Win
Your mind is like Pandora's Box
I am the fear
I am the hope
I am the dark
I am the light
Open me
It'll be worth it
I promise
<Sinister laughing followed by a scream>
Thanks so much for freeing me
Enjoy the ride
