it-depression
for rebecca
it split the barrier of my mind
and carved a cozy cavity
a little indent in the ground
a perfect place to haunt me.
it flourished in the darkness
finding nightmares to feed on
and each day i woke up with a prayer
that it woudl be gone.
but it had settled in to stay
and stay it surely did
but when people made me smile
it ran away and hid.
it hated me with painful thoughts
and i hated it with chalky pills
because a lot of people have an it
and an it kills.
