Depression Quotes

151

if you look at
her closely

you can see that every
now and then
she turns away from her group of friends,
her smile falters
and she becomes another person for a few seconds;
a sad person,
a person who is broken and damaged,
and after a few depressing seconds,
she goes back to the group,
smiling and joking around,
she almost lookalike she is actually happy
but if you look at her closely
you can see how spurious her smile
really is
and you can see all the
wreckage
behind her
fake smile.

For those who don't know: spurious means fake or false.
