The Isolation Monster

Depression is the saddest, loneliest,

most understood monster

of them all

she sits and suffers alone

just because she can

feeding on nothing but sadness and tears

starving herself of joy

losing hope of finding solace

— and i know her pain

like the back of my own hand

but she won’t let me help

she would rather stay stuck in the abyss

letting her sorrow consume her

than change and evolve

because the unknown is uncertain and scary

so i hold her close

though she is cold

and unwilling to be loved

because i am too
