what is
depression?
doctors define it:
feelings of severe
despondency
and dejection
but that is not
depression
it is the sadness
that hides under your bed
and in the corners of rooms
the melancholy gray
of dread
and pain
that leaks into your mind
into your thoughts
into your being
it wipes away
who you were
scraping at the
foundation
of a person
until they topple over
at last
who are you
if not a
culmination
of your sorrows
and your dreams
and your
shortcomings
who are you
if not a
compiled list
of your failures
and your setbacks
and your
losses
what is
depression?
what defines
sorrow?
who decides
what
pain
is?
