Depression

Most people ask,
What is depression?
Just occasional sadness,
That comes and goes?

Well it's so much more than that,
It's too much to see,
Depression is one of man kinds enemies

It's a feeling you have,
That overpowers you,
It causes you to cry,
Without a reason why...

Depression is overwhelming,
Sometimes it leads to suicide,
And to those gone because of depression,
I hope your soul is calm and free now...

I have depression,
Even though, if you see me
You wouldn't even think so..

Depression isn't curable,
Not something you seek and heal,
Depression scars you for life,
And sometimes makes everything seem unreal..

It makes your whole world,
Seem like it's going all wrong,
Nothing can make you happy,
And a smile hides your true feelings...

Like I said before,
Most people just don't understand,
Even after this poem,
People will still ask...

What is Depression?
Is it just occasional sadness?
Well just remember it's not,
And because of depression,
Many lives are lost!
