The Black Hole
February 13, 2014
This thing,
This monster,
This demon.
Depression.
It is a black hole, endless and infinite.
It swallows me whole,
Shredding my soul.
Ripping my body to pieces.
Thought by thought,
Word by word,
It presses on.
Consuming me.
Controlling me.
Changing me.
This darkness,
This plague.
It takes over me.
Until
It is me.
It has conquered me, and it has become me.
The darkness and I are one.
I can't remember how to turn on the lights.
