Depression is like
A taped up box
Easy to open
Packed full of
Past experience
Past mistakes
Come sift through
Remember this?
You should be ashamed
Depression is like
A spooky Cabinet
With no lock
Fragile China feelings
Ugly handmade dolls
Mascara black eyes
You should be embarrassed
Depression is like
An old jewelry box
Cheap broken pieces
Brooches covered in blood
Chains oxidized and black
All the treasures you deserve
Depression is like
A dusty old attic
Dark and empty
Yellowing old sheets
Hiding worthless things
Wire traps full of mice
And dozens of
Taped up boxes
China cabinets
And old jewelry boxes
HASTYWORDS 
It is that, those.

It’s honestly always worse than I remember it to be.

Memory can be kind that way sometimes. It is hard, in a not depressed state to really imagine how bad depression can be, even for those who have been there, let alone those who haven’t. It really is a different state of consciousness.
