Mental Health
On Days Like This…

On days like this...
Depression is my constant companion
Wrapping its arms around my heart
Sinking its teeth into my soul
Because walking down the highway
I was tripped by an Aedi*
Broken by Efil*
Possessed by a Maerd*
Led through a bush
Still falling down the rabbit hole
It’s bottom is never known
This is what it feels like to be alone
(*read backwards)
