Analysis of Dear Depression



How shameful you are,
You make people feel crazy.

Some feel alone,
Like the world has turned it's back on them.

You surround them with your devilish hands,
Dressing them with confusion and anxiety.

Some don't even know the difference between you and grief,
You break and destroy their dreams and goals.
