Depression
---
Once upon a time,
In the middle of the night,
A girl got up to some trouble,
She started to fight.
They were ever so different,
However, so much alike,
The creature is so hopelessly doomed,
While the girl glows and shines.
She walks elegantly in the dark,
Ignoring all the constant danger,
She can't focus at all,
Oblivious to the creature that watches
She prances around like a playful puppy,
She brings joy and smiles to those who are down,
To those with broken hearts,
And to those who feel dead.
She believes in deep love,
She believes in forever,
But the cruel truth is,
None of those belong to her.
The awaiting creature has lost its sanity,
There is no humanity left,
It stupidly thinks,
It can destroy hers too.
But there is a big twist in this fate,
The creature is in numbing pain
It is a cold hearted monster,
It believes it doesn't deserve any love.
Unlike the girl who is precious,
She has a kind warm heart,
She plasters a smile,
That keeps them apart.
The creature cannot be seen,
It is hidden ever so well,
But when she gets weak,
It decides to play.
You see, not all creatures have a body to see,
They are inaccessible and sometimes just spirits,
Because the creature is only really,
A monster inside her head...
It's a battle she stands up to fight every single day,
But no one knows how she became that way,
She was always smiling and free,
But in her head she truly feels weak,
Trying to destroy the monster,
She wishes she didn't have to keep...
