Locked Away

These feelings are keeping me locked away.
Keeping my arms shackled to the wall.
Keeping my feet chained to weights.
I cannot move
All the energy that had once been within me
Has been sucked away.
There is a mirror that sits across from me.
It was strategically placed there
So I can watch myself slowly rot away.
I stand there,
Against the wall,
And watch as tears trickle down my dirt-stained cheeks.
I look at myself.
My eyes are dark and cold.
My skin like a ghost.
Once,
Long ago,
I would have cared about how I looked.
But now it’s meaningless.
Nothing matters to me anymore,
Just like I matter to no one.
I am unloved.
So why should I care if I rot into nothing?!
I have nothing to live for.
The only thing I have left
Is my only friend…
DEPRESSION!
