Opening the Cupboard
I opened the cupboard
Guess what was inside
Thats right, my depression
It always sits in there
Almost like a teacup waiting to be picked
It never moves, just sits
Its black like a shadow,
But isn't a shadow
The only thing that can move it is light
And I don't have any light,
Just darkness inside
My depression festers
in the dark cupboard
Almost like the movie,
The Indian in the Cupboard
