A collection of poems

My Bed

Get out of bed

But how do I get out of bed

When I can hardly open my eyes

When I feel like my body is a lead block

Sinking in the ocean of my bed

How do I get out of bed 

When I am chained to the post

by the thoughts in my head

And if I were to break free from my prison

I will not be able to gain the strength

To leave my oppressor

How do I get out of bed

When my depression keeps screaming

You are weak

You cant escape

Not good enough

The only time I can escape my depression is when I sleep

How do I get out of bed 

When a soft tempting voice whispers

Its so warm in bed

you don't have to leave

What if you just stay in bed today?

My depression agrees

What if you just stayed in bed today

But I stayed in bed yesterday

We had this same fight then too

And  the day before

My depression smiles

You lost then too
