This is just short poems and stories of my mental illness. I've still going through it and I'm here if anyone needs to talk.

Depressed

I am depressed.

I can still smile at pretty things.

And laugh when jokes are funny.

I can still talk to people.

And enjoy nice days.

But when I go inside,

When I am alone,

There is something broken.

And I fall into a sadness so sweet

That it engulfs me.

I look in the mirror,

And I don't like what I see.

And the tears always fall

When I'm falling asleep.

And I missed something,

That doesn't exist.

I am depressed.

I've been sad for a while.

But I can still find the light.

I can still smile.
