what is depression?

depression

i was asked what it was like

I said "if you must know"

"  

it's like I'm being pulled underwater by a strong current that I can't fight off, and the farther and farther I get pulled down, everyone around me is telling me to 'just get out of the water'. 

yet none of them hold out their hand to help pull me in

 I can't just get out of the water, the current is too strong

sometimes I find a rock to lean on for a while, but when I get too tired of holding myself up, every time I let go, I think to myself it would all be easier if I just let the current pull me under

letting me drown "

Author's Note

I know this is similar to another work I've done on depression, but pretend it's new.
