DepressionA Poem by erumsWhy don’t you just get over it? It's not that easy, if it was why would I still have it. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain. I can’t just make it go away. It's not a small cold that I can get rid of in a week. One time I failed a test and felt sad, it's the same thing right? No, it's not the same. You could still sleep and eat after that test. I couldn't I didn't have a choice. When I'm sad I have no motivation at all. It's like I haven't been plugged in and I'm at 1%. Want to come to the party with us? No, I just want to sit in bed all day. I will be in a room of strangers that all want to talk to me. I would but, my minds telling me no. I don't have anything to wear. What about that dress you just got? It makes me look like an elephant that just ate a hippo. I hate that color. I lost it, it has been lost in the sea of clothes. Why can't you just understand I don't want to go? You have depression, but you're always so cheery? It's fake, but you can't tell. Yes because I don't want anyone to know. Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize I had to be sad all the damn time. Are you okay? No I'm not, but I will say I'm fine till the day I die. My smile says yes but my eyes say no. Yes, I just feel like a car that has just ran over a nail. I'm just tired. Tired of what? Finally someone asked it. Tired of trying Tired of lying Tired of breathing Tired of living. © 2017 erums |
