Depression
Depression
It’s not just a “bad mood”
You can’t just “get over it”
It’s a sadness that appears even at your happiest moments
It’s the loneliness you feel even when surrounded by friends
Depression
It’s the feeling of your entire body folding in on itself
Shutting out anyone who cares
It’s the dark nights where you lay in bed alone
Tears sliding down your cheeks
Depression
It’s the thing that makes your mother cry
Asking what she did wrong
Wondering what she could do to make your life better
But there’s no way to get rid of the pain
Depression
It’s the monster under your bed
Except
Now it’s in your head
Depression
