"What is depression?"
It's more than just a feeling. It is a person smiling while they die from the inside. It is sinking in waters, despite knowing how to swim. It is your monsters smiling at you and ripping away at your soul. It is your demons embracing you and you embracing their darkness. It is all a never ending battle with your own self; your own mind playing against you.
The black you choose to see in the white, the dark that follows you and engulfs any sort of light, the negativity that refuses to acknowledge anything good. It's something you'll see on days even when nothing goes wrong but the demons inside of you escape and haunt you, they taunt you and claw at you. It's when silence is dangerous because your thoughts echo in this emptiness, roaring with their own ferocity. It is so much more powerful than one realises, it's a beast in every sense.
It is us who wield the sword to vanquish to such a beast, we just have to be brave enough to do it.
