depression

Unable to resist temptation,

I fall harder for you.

Unable to hold it off any longer,

The thoughts come on through.

You’re the addiction I can’t kick.

You keep creeping back in.

I try so hard to keep it together,

But the simplicity of you causes me to surrender.

I tell myself I've evolved,

My glow up is evident right on my skin.

But you’re so familiar to people like me.

You’re becoming a sort of kin.

I wish my progress were enough.

I wish the words of encouragement were sufficient.

But you’re good at getting girls like me.

I wish you didn’t rack up souls like you earn commission.

At times I refuse to concede,

But then my mood swings in succession

To the beat of a sporadic tune…

I wish I could beat this depression.
