Depression

depression can kill
if not treated before
the final cut.
the curtain goes up
and i'm playing to
an empty house.
no one cared enough
to come and see the show.
but they must!
this is where i tell the truth;
shielded by bright lights
i can't see the looks of
pity and confusion.
i cut
i bleed
i laugh
i scream
and through it all
i feel nothing
the epitome of a black hole.
i take it all in
and it disappears
i have nothing to give back
so i make it up.
love, happiness,
sorrow, pain,
i've read them all
and made them my own.
but nothing is mine
it's all a farce.
the curtain drops,
a rush of heavy crimson
and my life flows from
a body that no one
will miss.
