According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Depression is: A mental condition characterized by feelings of severe despondency and dejection, But for me, Depression is the sleepless nights, And the reason I don't get out of bed Depression is the still unwashed plates Left by the sink, The missed calls and the Voicemails that I never open Depression is the chipped paintwork, The shatter glass windows that I have not got round to fixing Depression is the skipped meals, The self-portrait it carves on my wrist, It controls me like a puppeteer Depression is the voice telling me That I am not good enough Not smart enough, Not funny enough The voice telling me this world would be better without me Telling me I am not wanted, I am not loved Depression is the reason I can't treat my friends and family Like friends and family Depression is standing on top of the world And still wanting to jump Depression is not wanting to die and Yet still wanting to die Depression is the hardest battle I've ever fought And I think I'm losing
