Depression is an acid
That slowly
Eats away
Your heart and soul

Depression is a void
From which
There is no escape

You lose interest in things that used to bring you such joy
You fade away from the people you love and care about

Depression is a piece of fly paper
Once it sticks to you
You can never get it off

Depression is a killer
Sneaking up behind you
To stab you in the back

You no longer see in color all is gray
You no longer feel true joy just an empty facade

Depression is a hole in your heart
An emptiness
A vacant spot
An icy tomb
To never be warm

Depression is putting a smile on your face
When all you want to do is die
Cast off leave the world behind

You smile so the world doesn’t see the pain
You smile so the world doesn’t see the fear

Depression is being sad and not knowing why
A constant rain cloud above you
No light just gloom

Depression is always fearing the worst will happen
Depression is a car spinning out of control
Depression is a tornado inside destroying your life
Depression is voices from your past that even afters years
They still haunt you
Teasing
Laughing
Tearing you down bit by bit

Depression is never seeing yourself as good enough
