"Depression doesn't always mean,
Beautiful girls shattering at the wrists
A glorified, heroic battle for your sanity
Or mother that never got the chance to say goodbye.
Sometimes depression means,
Not getting out of bed for three days
Because your feet refuse to believe
That they will not shatter upon impact with the floor.
Sometimes depression means,
Summoning the willpower
To go downstairs and do the laundry
Is the most impressive thing that you accomplish that week.
Sometimes depression means,
Lying on the floor staring at the ceiling for hours
Because you cannot convince your body
That it is capable of movement.
Sometimes depression means,
Not being able to write for weeks
Because the only words you have to offer the world
Are trapped and drowning and I swear to God I'm trying.
Sometimes depression means,
Every single bone in your body aches
But you have to keep going through the motions
Because you are not allowed to call in to work because you are depressed.
Sometimes depression means,
Ignoring every phone call for an entire month
Because yes, they have the right number
But you're not the person they're looking for anymore."
