As kids we're lead to believe
You need a reason to be sad
And we're taught by society
That its okay to make fun of
Those who are
I once asked ,
"How do I explain depression,
To people who've NEVER experienced it?"
Just because you're sad doesn't mean you're depressed
Depression is the feeling of drowning
While everyone around you
Can clearly breathe
Like walking down the street
And suddenly decides to swallow you whole
That nightmare of a dark creature
You never knew but scared of
That's depression
The coolness of a blade as it slices your skin
Is what I rely on
To take away the pain
It causes physical pain
But mentally
It as if everything bad
Trickles away with every single
Drop of crimson
Every wrong and cruel
Fades away in that moment of time
People don't realize that its not
Cowardness that pushes
People towards suicide
They are brave
Knowing you're leaving and never coming back
Knowing you're hurting those that care
Knowing you're doing this and won't know what happens next
Walking into this blindly and being able to push fear away
We aren't cowards looking for a way out
We brave enough to move on
As I was once wisely told ,
"No one wants to die ,
But everyone wants to go to heaven"
