Depression

Depression makes me see the bad rather than the good. This is what it's like. This is depression.

You can stare in my eyes
tell me to 
cheer up
hug me and kiss me
tell me I mean
the world to you
yet I won’t
feel 
a 
thing.

You say I don’t
see the good things
or all the potential
I have to offer.
I do, but depression 
alters my perception.
Depression
makes me see the bad
rather than the good
I may think
I'm winning
until depression
grabs me 
by the shoulders
and tells me
I’m losing.
Don't tell me to cheer up for you
because I
can fake a smile any day.

Dang. This was very emotional. It hit home more for me because I can relate to this. Very, very good job.
