#484 latex gloves

depression grows like mold
thriving in dark damp forgotten places
hidden from view
then ugly to others
get rid of it
but are they willing to don gloves
to arm themselves with bleach
to scrub hands raw
to crawl in dark crawlspaces
that bring darker stories at night
when eyes fall closed
from the exhaustion of effort
no
they just want the problem fixed
so they can think
i told you
