A Poem To My Depression

Why are you still here?
Why do you make me feel so sad when I'm around my friends
Make me take a sharp object to my skin
To cut
And bleed
And bleed
Make me feel so disgusted with myself that i need to take three showers in a row
Why do you do this to me?
I can't deal with these headaches and wanting to just die
Laughing when people say that i'll get better
I can't see myself getting better
I want to get better
But I'm so sad
I don't get sleep
I can't sleep
I need to cut
I need you to stop saying things
You invite anxiety to help with these headaches and keep me up at 12:59
And add trauma so i am scared of every raised voice and slamming
please just leave me alone.
I can't take this anymore
