Depression's Family

A re-post. "Depression, her children are many." May I introduce you?

Depression, her children are many.
Seductive voids of darkness that
Drag you along a little at a time.
Once they pull you into their coven,
You will meet the family.

May I introduce Self-Pity, Sister of Loneliness?
Loneliness, brother of Denial
And Denial, the twin of Anger.
Most importantly, I introduce you to Depression.
Mother of all four.

Sister entities,
Depression and Isolation
Raised the cunning Self-Pity, Loneliness, Denial and Anger
Making Depression and Isolation, daughters of Satan.

Ah! Satan, a true enemy.
Father of Depression
Nurturing her to who she is today.
An all-consuming void of oppressive misery.

She is a caring mother and aunt.
Coddling her nieces, Resentment and Regret.
Daughters of Isolation.

So often is she incredibly terminal
As they both court your
Every pitiful whim.

Once you have tasted Isolation and Depression, they never leave.
As sisters, they will never let you go.

Spend your life fighting or you'll give in.
To the spawn of Depression and Isolation.
