Tears flow like silent waterfalls
Smile bravely for those who need it
Depression hiddes behind my smiles
Deep in thought I cry
Torturing my soul with ravenous hateful things
Deep in depression I die
Eyes spill over gently still
Eyelashes wet, covered by hateful staining tears
Closing to hide the pain
Eyes shine bright like suns
Blade slices, chair falls away, pills swallowed
Eyes go dull and dark
Tragedy stains her vulnerable mind
Hateful unspoken thoughts, swirling and driving mad
They find her lifeless corpse
Awaken, a new day approaches
Look in the mirror, fake smile intact
No one suspects she’s depressed
Silent thoughts crumple her knees
Tears stain her face but a smile’s intact
No one suspects a thing
Skin like paper, torn, cut
Never too deep for they need her
They don’t suspect a thing
I have loved and lost
It is better not to have loved
Than loved and lost hope
Love is happiness and sadness
Joy, hate, tears, laughter, arguments and compromises
Love is you and me
You are my only savior
Tears stain my cheeks, blades cut me
You take away the blades
The world is a blur
They call me antisocial, label me too
I’m just tired of depression
Can’t tell light from dark
Light is blinding but so is darkness
I’m blind to the world
Mouth shut, saying no words
Smiling through the pain, not drawing attention
Mouth frozen in a smile
No one knows how hard I try to be here
How hard I fight, how tough I really am
No one knows what kind of person I am
No one knows how long I’ve kept this act up
Depression lingers on my shoulders still
Silent, terrible and cruel it lingers
Quiet and persistent it gets stronger
Feeding on my lies, fears and weaknesses
Days blur together, turning into weeks
Terror grips my heart and I reek of fear
Still here, still breathing, fighting my monsters
They get stronger with each day that goes by
Monsters persistent, I’ve reached my limit
Fighting too hard, I was strong far too long
Mind muddled by fear and hate I find it
Razor blades against my skin cut down deep
Holding back for those I love, they need me
Bandage my cuts and carry on smiling
No one suspects I’m depressed, smiling, hiding
Pain sears my thoughts but I continue on
Even If I can't
