Depression

Popping happy pills

To suppress the bad feels.

Depressed thoughts corroding my brain.

Mind breaks making me insane.

Looking at you, i cripple in vain.

You never know who is aching;

So many of us are out here faking.

Putting a mask on to try to hide

What we shove deep inside.

Darkest parts never show;

Unless the light from others start to glow.

Comparing our demons to the ones they own,

Wanting to trade, so yours will leave you alone.

We all face a wall,

One that stares at you until you fall.

On our knees we beg to end it all.

Helping others climb over, so you don’t have to try

To uncover the monsters on the other side.

blocks forming from what we don’t show;

Seeping through the seams we tried to hand sew.

Once a person discovers those spills,

They leave you…

just you, and your pills.
