Definition of Depression

Commonly misunderstood, mistaken for an emotion synonymous with "sad". Seldom comprehended. Even rarer, recognized without a debate over it's existence in you.

Alienating

Like standing in the blazing sun

Peering through a window

To the inside where everyone is 

Drinking ice water in an air conditioned room

Forced to watch and endure.

Debilitating

As if when you’ve just started to run

And you fall into a throe

On your body and mind, imprinted injuries 

The same question will loom

How long they linger, you’re unsure.

Afflicting

Watching the world around you in fun

The only thing you know

Is simply this

Unrelenting doom

For which there is no cure. 

Desolation

It is coming undone

At a pace unbearably slow

Sinking into the abyss

That will become your tomb

Hurting worse than ever before.
