What happened

to the happy go lucky girl

that used to fill

this sad, empty girl

She used to dance and sing

She used to spend hours with friends

She used to smile

Now she sits in her room alone

Now she sits there crying tears of pain

Now she wishes she was dead

We have to say goodbye to

happy and hello to sad

For now

© Kortney R., Gardendale, TX

The author's comments:
This piece describes the way that other people see the way depression can transform a person. My last line really speaks the truth, we have to say goodbye to happy and hello to sad, For now. This is true, you are only sad for a little while. Not forever.

omg that was really good! i know exactly where you were coming from. on the outside i have "everything" and to some "have no right" to feel upset and depressed but i have almost given up and felt just like this, its nice to be reminded we aren't alone in a world full of people even though thats how we feel sometimes.
