Depression is...
Depression is...
Like a towering mountain,
On my back
Like my shadow,
Always there, always dragging me down
Like a deep, black ocean,
I’m drowning
Like a parasite,
Draining all of my energy
Like a cage,
I’m trapped
Like a knife,
Buried deep in my heart
Like a war,
Inside of my own head
Like a waterfall,
I am forced to crawl up every single day
Like a cancer,
Eating away at me
Like a nightmare,
That I can’t wake up from
Like hell,
With just enough room for me
Like the edge of a cliff,
That I’m hanging onto for dear life
Like a black hole,
I can’t get out
Like a storm,
Knocking me down and beating me senseless
Like living life in a fog,
Unable to see any hope
Like a noose,
Tightening around my neck
Like a clock,
Ticking my life away
Like a jail,
Where I'm the prisoner and the jailer
Depression is...
Killing me.

This is not a beautiful poem, it doesn't have rhyme or meter, it is not supposed to be beautiful; it is intended to be honest, Depression is not beautiful.
