Animated shadows flickered against the walls
As voices softly burbled from the TV
In the darkened basement.
Outside, snow fell softly,
Unheard yet felt in the soul.
As though the snow was an emissary
From a wonderful, antique land,
Debonair and timeless.
Inside, wrapped in warm sweaters
And flannels,
Enveloped in the scents of Christmas,
The dry tinge of the knotty pine paneling,
The dryer sheet tumbling around,
And the soft shampoo scent of her hair.
And it all fades to black...
Where is she, tonight?
Is she standing there, out in the world,
Wondering what's going on?
Most likely not.
She'll be watching reruns of Jersey Shore,

Depression isn’t true, my dear
Depression isn’t real.
It’s just a silly tragedy
You’ve forced yourself to feel.
Anxiety is fake, my friend
You wonder why it’s there.
But others have it worse than you!
Stop forming false despair.

It’s ugly, and it’s dumb.
Why not just get over it?
Is the attention fun?
Suicide is stupid, dear,
And selfish, if I may.
Get over yourself, darling,
Can you hear these things I say?
Why aren’t you replying, love?
Oh, where could you have gone?
I never meant to hurt you, love,
Did I say something wrong?
Why aren’t you replying, dear
