(Trigger warning, self harm, drug use, suicide; this one’s dark)

I am the sorrow,

The pain you feel each day.

I am addiction,

The cause of your deadly craze.

They call me depression;

You call me your friend,

Your enemy, your savior

Until the bitter end.

I am the scars on your skin,

The blood in your veins,

The darkness within -

Nothing of you remains.

You can get high to hide me,

Drink to numb the pain,

But I’m always there, waiting

To bring you back down again.

I feed on your pain,

It makes me grow stronger.

And I am the reason

You can go on no longer.

There’s a way to kill me,

Save yourself from my hell.

We can go down together

In a final farewell.
