If depression were a colour,
It would be the shade of your tears as they endlessly flow down your face
If depression were a taste,
It would be just like the emptiness in your stomach as you starve yourself in the efforts to become skinny
If depression were a smell,
It would be just like the metallic scent of blood from the cuts that ease your pain
If depression were a sound,
It would be just like the taunts of all those who teased you, echoing through your mind, eating away at your very existence.
Until you finally find peace and silence as you bid your last goodbye

He smirked "Your right Ms Jones, and with that I'm leaving. Try not to day dream about me during Mr Richards's lesson" he said cockily making the class laugh again.

I've Met You Once Before
Even from far away, all I could see was you. "Who is who?" Derek asked, unfazed, sipping on the remainder of his protein shake from class. "Her." I didn't point to you, to avoid being too obvious, so I nodded my head in the most subtle way. "Laughing, smiling. Do you see her?" "The girl with the guy hanging off of her who's clearly her boyfriend? I think he plays on the varsity team. She's probably a cheerleader." I pretty much ignored everything he said. I didn't care. I was already too far gone and into you. "I have to have her." He must have found that incredibly hilarious because he almost choked on the remainder of his protein shake. "Good luck, kid." "What?" I took my eyes off of you for a second and gave Derek a look. "You can't picture it?" "How blinded by her are you right now?" He waved his hand in front of my face and I pushed it away as he attempted to connect the dots for me again. "I repeat: cheerleader, guy, out of your fucking league." "Hey, let's not make assumptions now. She could be into girls and not even know it. Oh my god, she just smiled at me. Did you see that? Were you looking?" I was in love with you the second you walked into my sight. "There's a lot going on in this vicinity," he laughed and I shoved him as he taunted me. "Jerk. I'm gonna talk to her."Complete
