Dear depression,<\/p>\n
You fucking suck<\/p>\n
I cannot count the number of casualties
\nI cannot even quantify the collateral damage
\nI cannot begin to add up the lost years
\nI cannot even fathom the billable hours
\nI cannot sift through the pills and treatments
\nI cannot properly express in any language
\nJust how terrible you are<\/p>\n
You steal, maim, intimidate, and crush
\nYou wrap your tendrils around hearts and minds
\nYou keep people from seeing the truth
\nYou twist sentences spoken in kindness into barbs
\nYou use every dirty trick<\/p>\n
Cancer can be excised
\nInfection medicated
\nWounds cauterized<\/p>\n
But you, are like a fungus
\nCrawling and invading and seeping in
\nAn intelligent parasite slowly feeding on its host
\nHiding in places no surgeon would dare go<\/p>\n
I have lost good friends to you
\nI have lost heroes to you
\nI have lost years to you
\nI have lost good times with good people to you<\/p>\n
In short, you are just the worst<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
