# The Box Author: Rogal Ursus Tags: Depression, Insanity, Poerty #2 of Poetry This was written in the midst of a severe depressive cycle and may not be for everyone. I suffer from depression and have done so since I was thirteen. More recently it has gotten really bad and lack of funds are making it very hard to maintain the ability to attend therapy. I needed to get something out. This work is literally what is going on in my head right now.
