Depression Is My Only Friend

A Poem by SaraVelitol

Depression is my only friend
The bond we have will never end
He's always with me
As though meant to be
I wish he was real
Because he knows how I feel
He keeps me calm he understands
Why i avoid people's helping hands
He numbs my hunger he numbs my pain
He even numbs my troubled brain
My numbs my emotions he numbs my voice
He'll numb anything if it's my choice
With everyone he reassures me not to fear
Because he'll be the only one that I'll hear
He's always near he's by my side
I never feel like i have died
He never makes me feel alone
My heart no longer made of stone
To sleep he'll sing me a lullaby
My dream now sweet no longer a lie
He'll tell me that nothing's my fault
To forget the torture forget the assault
He's forever by my side
And in my heart i know he has never lied
He holds me when i cry he says i'll be okay
He promises he'll make everything go away
Now i know that he's real
Because he knows what i feel
Knowing that he's always with me
I know that we are meant to be
Our bond will never end
Because Depression is my only friend.
