Depression realisation.

Most people dont know what it's like for a person with depression. Some of my closest chums have it extremely bad. Ive grabbed razors off them before. Cleaned their cuts.

A soldier of a different kind battling in a different zone.

God only knows shes tried to fight her only battle.

A sadness in the misty air she'll breathe it in like life.

But even life is becoming hard to find a new clean source.

A silent scream hidden hidden by a smile.

A smile is her best-friend a shadow to her feelings.

A hopelessness she doesn't need to hide.

It mixes her together in her mind.

She swallows the pills that keep her okay.

And pretends shes fine, for one more day.

Author's Note

I didn't really know what to put this in, its more of a statement poem if anything, sorry to some it wont make sense.
But to people with depression, its a reality.
