Challenge
I wanna meet the gnarled, twisted bits of you.
I've been dealing with my depression by personifying it (like in "a conversation"). I'm kinda obsessed with the idea of making something more "alive," giving it more power almost, to make it easier to deal with. If you were to give them character or a face or a body, what would your mental illness/troubles/dark emotions be like? How would you interact with them? What would they do on a day-to-day basis? Written however you like, no limitations. Please tag me @wabisabi.

Every Day
Every day, you follow me.
But you're most apparent while I lay restless on my bed, trying to sleep, and that's where you are. You're there, standing over me, looking through my eyes, staring into my frail soul. Yet we both know it isn't as frail as I'd wish it to be. We all know how imperfect I am. But we also know that I'm a lot worse than one would perceive me to be. My hidden morals, which only circle around my own well-being. I try to make up for it, every day, making my goal in life to assist. To help. Yet you know that no matter what, I'm useless. You know how selfish one really can be.
And one is me.
