depression is not just sadness,
depression is weight that keeps you in bed
while sadness is tangible feeling
depression can feel empty
like nothing at all
depression and sadness can sometimes look alike
but while it's easier to talk about what's making us sad,
depression can be unexplainable and leave us silent
in the end,
depression keeps you stuck, fun cannot fix it
instead, it isolated you from what you love
sadness is a very real and difficult emotion to process,
but depression is an overwhelming numbness that requires professional help
both feelings are valid,
but if someone opens up to you about their depression,
don't say, "I've been sad, too."
listen.
