Depression...
Depression is like when

You're living, but you don't think.

Your heart is pumping, but you can't feel exhilaration.
Your eyes can see, but everything's too blurry.
Your ears can hear but can't listen.
Your lips can move but can't speak.

Your lungs expand, but you're not breathing.
Your teeth are white, but they're brittle.
Your legs can stand but can't walk.
Your hands can wave "Hi!" but a second after comes "Bye!".

Your smile deceives, but your eyes confess.
Your tears fall down your cheeks, but then they float around you.
Your walls forged resilient but threatens to fall.
Your arms hug your legs but won't extend back.

Your body tucked in like a baby but nowhere near comfortable.

When you see the moon in the light
of day, and see the sun in the dark
of night.

You'll know Depression is there.

And, lastly, you know what?

Depression eats your life away.
