Its funny how doctors think,
If you're too happy you're depressed,
If you're too sad you're depressed.
If you lose weight you're depressed,
If you gain weight you're depressed.
If you smile too much you're depressed,
If your smile doesn't reach your eyes you're depressed.
If you wear black you're depressed,
If you're emo you're depressed.
If you talk you're depressed,
If you don't speak at all you're depressed.
Even if you're just being you,
You're depressed.
Even if you're wearing colorful clothes you're depressed.
I guess they're waiting for us to be perfect,
Because if you can't be perfect you're depressed.
Depression isn't an emotion,
Its so much more.
Or weight,
Weight is just a number.
Or height,
Height is just a measure.
Or wearing black all the time,
Black is just a shadow, not even a color.
Or not smiling,
For smiling is just moving your lips.
Everything you do defines who you are,
But you are not depression.
