A poem about depression, and feeling contagious.
Oh, now I feel that I am contagious
If you touch me, you’ll get this sickness
Defiled by some dark disease
It feels like my sanity has expired
and demons fill my mind
Oh, now I feel that I am contagious
Stay away if you don’t want to get this
Your skin will crawl,
Like a thousand needles
prickling just beneath the surface
An itch so deep down to your core
where nothing will reach it
Still you will try until nothing is left
and you are bled dry
Oh, now I feel that I am contagious
So it is best you leave me to myself
Let this dark plague fester inside
I try to scream, let out my anger
but it forces me to keep quiet
Not to mention the voices in my head
Tormenting me night and day
What must I do to make them go away?
Oh, I am sure that I am contagious
and I wonder if this will ever go away
Please, can you tell me?
Will my sanity return,
and if it does,
Will it stay?
