-Puff+Higher+Purpose

The higher purpose of this poem is to show that depression is a serious thing, that sometimes it can't be cured. A line says: how do you grow, With a timebomb inside? Or how to defuse it, Without destroying its ride? You can't. This line is telling people that depression is hard to live with, and there isn't a real cure for it. Sure there are drugs you can take to lessen the metal pain but they will not cure depression completely, this poem is saying there is no real way to live a "happy" life with depression. Another part of the poem says: Watching freedom, which is another way depression effects people, watching freedom is sort of like binding them to what they think they can do and what they think they can't, it as if being depressed keeps you from being who you really are. The poem is also expressing that when you become depressed, the person you were before, the "real" you disappears, as if a monster swallowed you up and is controlling you. Even if you get over the depression, you won't ever be the same.
