Depression-Filled Christmas

39 1 1
                                    

Under the tree
Scarcity of presents lay
Covered in half-assed paper of red and green

Waking closer to noon
Dread running through veins
But no presents before watching Tiktok

Mess of emotions
You on pickup duty
Assortments of illnesses about your brain

Stockings on the mantle
Empty and abandoned
Disappointment filling your blood

Eating 'family' dinner in different rooms
Silenced and awkward
With tears and glassy eyes on faces

No memories to make or remember
Magic no longer lasting
Hating thoes you once loved
