My Depression

Why do I feel numb

Watching the world

Listless in sight

Because I only see it in black and white

 

Colors are washed out of my eyes

And every light in me has died

All I see are smiles as frowns

Because I only see them upside down

 

Love songs don’t have any meaning

For a person who is trapped in their mind

Love can attempt to come my way

And I will just glance and walk away

 

Storm clouds cries and fills the ocean

But my salty tears competes with emotion

Filling the ocean ten times till tomorrow

That the ocean will be overwhelmed with sorrow

 

In the end,

I try a superficial smile

And try to fool myself for awhile

But as much as I try

There is nothing left inside

Because everything in me

Can’t seem to come alive

For those who suffer from mental illness, I hear you and I know. There is help and above all hope. You are strong, keep fighting, you are worth it.
