Famine
All you desperate poets
Diligently searching for the perfect words
To describe your solitude, melancholy, the knives, the cuts,
Hopelessness, hatred, despondency, disease, death,
Famine of the Soul.
But to me, depression is about
Hitting snooze twenty times on your alarm clock
Because getting out of bed is just….
Too. Fucking. Hard.

I was thinking about this concept the other day, how so many people have so much motivation and drive in life: dreams and goals, when sometimes all I want in life is to wake up in the morning and not just want to go right back to bed.

Yes! That's what I feel too! How great it would be to WANT to get up in the morning. Sigh...

Love how in the first half the diction is so dense and "poetically flashy" while the second half is raw and honest. Great written way to show your point, too.
