Depression

May 2, 2013

As happiness falls around everyone else,
A storm of sorrow follows me around.
The days grow darker like the midnight sky,
My life is slowly collapsing around me.
The days feel like weeks,
The weeks feel like months.
Happiness is not an option for me anymore.
Depression follows me everywhere I go,
I can't escape this nightmare.
It's as if I've forgotten how to breathe.
I'm slowly fading away,
Like sand blowing away in the winds.
As I cry myself to sleep,
I wonder why I'm still here.
Why can't I be happy..
I'm practically already gone.
It's as if I'm invisible,
Nobody understands me.
It's like their talking to a ghost.
Can't you hear me..
I'm screaming out for help.
I'm desperate for happiness.
I need to escape this feeling,
This feeling of emptiness,
The feeling of depression eating away at me.
The feeling of wanting to be loved,
The feeling of needing someone..
I'm just a cry for help.
Help will never come,
My life if slowly drifting away,
There's nothing I can do about it.
I'm torn,
I'm broken, lost, and confused.
I'm just a nobody,
The girl that everyone hates.
I'm that girl that is an expert at faking a smile.
I hide my sadness with my laughter.
Can't you see the tears in my eyes?
Don't you understand what it's like.?
I can't do this anymore.
I'm not the same as I once was.
I'm dead inside. I'm gone.
I'm just the girl that nobody understands.
Goodbye.

I just want to show people my point of view on depression. It's something that I strongly want to end.
