Depression is not when I attend a funeral, And the dead have been prettied, and the coffins have been chosen. It is not the sorrow I feel..
Depression is not when I fail a test, Nor is it when I dishonor my family, Or when I make a fool out of myself that day.
Depression is when I laugh heartily with family, And chatter fills the air, it's a grand time! But hell.. Is it hard to breath.
Depression is when I am alone and at peace, And the clock ticks and the ink drips, And suddenly I am suffocating in my thoughts. Like a deep sea of worry, stress and negativity.
Depression is when my body is stone, And every move feels like I'm dragging tons. And so, I shed black tears.
It is when my thoughts are in blots. It is when I am inky.

They said the stars shine the brightest at night, But what if the world looks like the sun, And you're a tiny invisible star?
