Today I Lost

Depression is when there's one sheet of toilet paper left

on the roll, and you can't be bothered to change it -

Is it laziness, or depression?

The eternal question.

Depression feels like when your roommate changes the roll,

and you think -

It could all be so simple.

But your brain simply doesn't work that way.

---

And when he said, of his depression -

Today I lost.

I need people to know that this state of being

doesn't feel right,

Even to me.

Today I lost.

I lost the battle against toilet paper. And if that's not depression at its core, I don't know what is. It won. And I lost.
