Depression
Why lie to myself as I do right now
I see, in the mirror, a faded smile
Rarely one that is needed by me
It shows an expression of uneasy
Not that anyone else would care
Now a look of anger has appeared
For me, I stare with no movement
It lifts its whimpering eyes to me
I stare on with almost no emotion
To look into its depressed eyes,
Would kill us, not to fight against
To not help, would send it deeper
If I were to die here today or tonight
Just remember, it was not me
It was that face in the mirror
