How it came to this

I don’t really know

But sitting in the accused

Is my depression monster

He used to be so small

And quiet

Only as small and innocent

As a toddler

Now he towers over everyone

Yelling and screaming

And not letting anyone or anything

Come through

Never would I have thought

He would get this bad

This

E

V

I

L

But here he is

Tied to the chair

Screaming at me to die

The judge takes a seat

She gives the facts

He almost killed me

He should be gone

My monster doesnt like that

Starting to scream and yell

Louder than before

Taking up everything around me

There’s no more facts

Or skills to calm his down

He’s out of control

He breaks free of his ties

Crawling towards me

Inch by inch

Getting closer

There’s nothing I can do

I shouldn’t run

I shouldn’t call for help

I’ll just let him win

The area goes black

He’s caught me

And he has a blade

Here it goes

…

A hand

Through the darkness

Not just one

Many

Many hands

Ready to help

To save ME

I grab onto them

Getting pulled out of the clouds

Into calm

A place where the depression monster

Can’t really go

I wish he could be locked up forever

Or that I could stay in calm

But at least I got out this time

I hope the next can be the same
