What Is Depression?
March 21, 2015
It's like never ending darkness
burning through my veins
taking all the happy thoughts
engulfing them in flames
It's large smiles
that don't quite reach the eyes
convincing you they're what they aren't
their feelings in disguise
It's a need for light, for happy
a feeling of desperation
yet all positive feelings in existence
are in the process of cremation
