Trigger warning: This is a poem about depression and having suicidal thoughts. Please be advised.
It’s the perfect time to build a wall
Then share my frustrations and all
For at least it will be no surprise
That it will ignore all my cries
It’s the perfect time to build a wall
And wait for the Reaper to call
Pitch black is where I will get comfort
There’ll be no more wasted effort
It’s the perfect time to build a wall
And wait for my body to fall
Deprive me of this never-ending sigh
The world will be better when I die
