To Charlotte

Depression is a soft kitten

Sharpening it's claws upon my mind

Causing it to smitten

Making me go blind

Depression is a sky

Filled with darkest fears

Causing me to cry

Never getting past these tears

Depression is a book

With torn out pages ripped

Causing me to hang off a hook

Again I almost slipped

Depression seems subtle with what you see

Though it's so dark unnderneath

You can't hear this echoing plea

Just look beneath

Depression is the dark nights

The ones you chose to ignore

The faded out gone forever lights

Slamming in my face this door

Depression is the mind trying to die

When your body just wants to survive

The telling of another desperate lie

The way you're completely unable to strive

Depression is the red slits upon my hips

The ones I keep from the world

The pretty lies upon my lips

The ones so perfectly, unfortunately swirled

It isn't at all what you think

Because it just isn't sadness

It's the horrid medicine you're forced to drink

The one that males you spiral into madness

To Lilah

Anxiety is when you can’t think

Because your head is too unsure

And you just need to blink

But worries pile high behind the door

Anxiety is wishing to be left alone

Because the thoughts grip too tight

And you’re buried to the bone

But you just can’t seem to fight

Anxiety is trying to ignore

Because you cannot deal

And you realize you made it worse

But you still manage to conceal

Anxiety is panicking to the point of a headache

Because you over-think

And you say you’re not at stake

But really your heart just starts to sink

Anxiety is that stress ball

Because you can’t live without them

And you begin to fall

But there’s no denying your mind’s mayhem

To Trisha

Anorexia is devouring your mind

Even though you refuse to eat

It's being so cold and unkind

When you see something sweet

Anorexia is covering your mouth

When you know you need the food

It's going too far south

And it puts you in a mood

Anorexia is crossing your arms

Because you really don't want that meal

In your head rings alarms

And you lie that you can deal

Anorexia is pretending you ate

When your stomach really growls

It's putting yourself in a poor state

And giving yourself constant scowls

Anorexia is when you want to want it

Even though you just don't

Falling into a deepening pit

And eat you just won't

Anorexia is saying you're fine

Even as you empty yourself of source

It's crossing that fine line

That knocks you right off-course

Anorexia is what you don't see in me

Because I hide it oh so well

It's locked with a single key

That never will I sell

Anorexia is what I hide

Beneath the broken dreams

And when you asked I simply lied

Said I wasn't falling apart at the seams
