Depression is not being sad, but the complete loss of hope. Considering solutions and solving problems is out of the question. The darkness presses in like the water at the bottom of the ocean. Pretending to Smile The lights slowly fading. The shadows extend. I put on my smile and try to pretend. The weight of the world is pulling me down. The grip of the darkness creeps in and surrounds. Im trying to focus but struggle to look. I see every failure and wrong road I took. The room where Im standing has cluttered debris. My clothes lay like seaweed washed up from the sea. What will I do first and what can not be done. My troubles add up to far more than the sum. I go to the kitchen and look at the sink. My mind freezes over and I can not think. This is the side where I wish I were dead. This is the dark side that strangles my head. I hold on the railing. Its loose and I fall. My life is a wave and I cant take it all. Im watching the shadows but cant stop their reach. I long for the happiness that they have breeched. I fall and I fail to stop the decent So I put on my smile thats ragged and bent.
