this is my confession.
i am in someone’s possession
her name is “depression”
she is real. not an expression
tells me that she is here to teach me a lesson
but in this class, it is best never to question
we share a reflection
sometimes she is full of aggression
other times she tells me she is here for my protection
makes me believe we have a deep connection
demands i give her attention
craves affection
if i ignore she begins to mention
that i am forever the opposite of perfection
she has a cd collection
plays them. making me sad, is her intention
because of her i will never succeed to get a good profession
i can never leave her. she has a crazy obsession
together we will grow old because we both fear rejection
this is my confession.
