Depression is like

A Black Hole

Swallowing you,

Drowning you,

Keeping you away 

From the

World

Making you sleep,

Overeat,

Under eat,

Gain weight,

Loose weight, 

Cut, 

Purge,

And loose yourself 

One by

One

Killing yourself

Slowly, 

Waiting for someone 

To save

Me

I say I'm Fine

"But DAMNIT
I WANT TO SCREAM
DO I LOOK
FINE!"

Depression keeps 

us away from people

Friends, Family

and Loved ones

Each and everyday

Loosing a fight

with your

Brain
