what is depression like?

Drowning when the rest of the world is breathing.

Then learn how to swimake you tell me.

Can you teach me I ask.

 Teaching  someone to be happy is like being tied to anchor when learning how to swim.

I'm Told happiness is simple I guess it's yet another thing I could not achieve.

I can taste the bitter disappointment look in your eyes.

When I came to you for help again you told me to learn how to swim.

Now I ask you, how do I learn to swim when I have an anchor tied to my ankle?

How do I learn how to swim when I spent my whole life sinking?
