Depression

This is one of my first poems and I am very proud of it, I hope you like it too! Also, if you do not like dark, depressing, and even suicidal themes, please leave this poem now!!

Depression isn't a bad breakup. Or a rainy day. 

It's not a frown or a sigh,

In fact, it can still hold it's head up high. 

Depression is the girl with the perfect smile or the boy that's always laughing. 

Depression isn't shown the way sadness is, it's hidden deep in our souls. 

Depression is a demon, that lives off the pain of others. It laughs at our tears and pokes at our fears.

Depression hunts for anyone. It hits at any moment. 

Depression plagues the little girl with a bright smile. 

It haunts the girl that reaches out to help. 

It drives fear into the A+ student. 

Depression has a sister. 

Her name is anxiety. 

Anxiety is the reason we doubt ourselves. 

Anxiety is the rest of judgment from others. 

It's the paranoia that plagues the night. 

They work together to drive us mad. 

We go insane and can't stand the pain.

  We put the gun to our heads as our hearts fill with dread.

 we end our lives and depression thrives.
