Depression

by Holly H Dunne

It's crying the ocean with only one tear


It's when the water turns murky and stops being clear


It's sleeping for a thousand years while you're still awake


It's when nothing is real and everything's fake


It's when no one understands the language you're screaming


It's being awake while you're still dreaming


It's blowing out the sun with a single sigh


It's living in a place where wishes go to die


It's when you're frozen numb and you're insides are snowing


It's killing yourself without even knowing.

It is all of that. Beautifully captures a nightmare disease.
