OUR FIGHT

I can feel you

Balling up

Like dry lint

Collecting

Bits of yourself

Tiptoeing

Around

Gathering

Strength

But my brain

Has creaky

Well used

Floorboards

Mostly

Because of you

And I know

Every single time

I experience

Self-doubt

Or self-loathing

You’ll be there

To devour

The scraps

And I’ll be

Fighting you

Once again

Someday soon

*It’s important to note that you don’t defeat depression. It’s a part of you that must be discovered and managed. Always. Forever.
