Depression

It hurts

When you cry and you

don't get the reason why.

When you notice yourself

deviating from the others.

Something that's so obvious

but yet still obscure.

You find yourself drifting.

Finding yourself eating your life

away.

You've become so famished

but yet so empty.

The whole world seems to be weighing

down on you.

At any moment your ready 

to throw in the towel

to give it all up.

You feel so belittled, so debilitated,

so defeated. 

And all of these people you confided in,

they, they look at you as if you're delusional.

When all you want is a painkiller,

to be alleviated.

You want to be freed of all pain.

Depression

It kills

When you've tried everything

including

Cymbalta

and yet your still left with that one option

Death.

Depression

When you find yourself sitting

in the back of the class

and you hear the whispers and the laughs.

You wish to be alone, where there is peace.

A girl walks up to you

she asks 'Are you okay?'

you don't answer.

She then hugs you because she knows

how it feels to be alone

she knows that the pain you feel

inside is irrefutable

she understands
