Depression

Depression is black.
It sounds like silent sobs.
It tastes like fear.
It feels like hooks embedded deep into your soul
Ripping you apart, robbing you of your sanity.
It smells like the thick smoke of a drug
And the whiskey.
The only things left to comfort you.
The only things left to numb the pain.
