Depression who are you
Are you my friend or are you my foe
To others u are like a silent voice
To others a drumming noise in the brain

Depression you are a killer
You make me feel empty
You make me feel isolated in the midst of crowds You are a frost in my mirror

What I see is dim and frosted

I look within I feel unloved, unworthy

Depression you steal my peace

Depression you steal my joy

You steal my time like a thief

I feel like an ant yet I look like a giant

Depression you are cruel and cunning

To the ignorant you are a choice

Depression you are cunning and sly

Depression is like a disease but doesn’t change outward beauty.

I meet people they see my beauty from outside

You are faceless
You are a feeling , a feeling of emptiness
When you look at me you see beauty , yet inside I feel unworthy , unlovable

I smile outward, yet inside I m screaming
You see happiness without yet inside I feel sad
You think I m friendly, yet I know I m hurting
What you see is the opposite of what I feel.
You are a feeling of pain that no one else can explain.
You feel rejection when truthfully it’s a simple “NO”. because not everything can be a yes .

It feels like a void that food cant fill
You eat yet all the food in the world doesn’t fill the emptiness, the void inside.

You are cruel because you dont have a face
You are cruel because you cant talk or listen.

The voices inside are sometimes louder than other times.

The screams cannot be numbed
Depression you are a silent killer
You are a burden to the soul.
