Depression's Eyes

Depression drips from eyes 

in floods of pain 

flowing in an empty, hollow, hopeless 

feeling while your chest tightens

and it hurts to breathe. 

Depression runs through your eyes

 while people gang up on you 

with bullying behaviors 

while they talk to like

you're stupid and worthless. 

Depression is a black balloon 

taunting you as some say, 

"Don't give up", 

but you don't forget those

who tell you, 

"I don't give a ship 

and it's not my problem." 

Depression is a nightmare 

and then you're supposed

to fight other medical problems

while you stand alone, 

suffer inside and try not 

to take it personally. 

Black roses wither

with dark emotions clouding 

depression's skies.
