On the hottest day of the year In my room all I had was rain Because the sun was so bright Not a soul cared to ask how I was Because the smile on my face Was painted so well That even the ones who Loved me the most Looked at me with a smile On their face and so sure Of themselves said “see, you’re okay.” For once maybe once Could someone ask “are you sure?” when I tell them I’m fine. For once maybe once Can you look me in the eyes And see inside me And not past? Just because I smile today Doesn’t mean tomorrow I won’t want to die.

Depression is not like the flu.
On the hottest day of the year In my room all I had was rain Because the sun was so bright Not a soul cared to ask how I was Because the smile on my face Was painted so well That even the ones who Loved me the most Looked at me with a smile On their face and so sure Of themselves said “see, you’re okay.” For once maybe once Could someone ask “are you sure?” when I tell them I’m fine. For once maybe once Can you look me in the eyes And see inside me And not past? Just because I smile today Doesn’t mean tomorrow I won’t want to die.
