This is my first post and I want it to be something deeply related to my life. Depression! I have seen people closely related to me go through this and at some point I feel I am too! So here goes.
Lying down, trying to sleep,
She said it is going to be okay!
Trying not to weep,
she said you are strong, you are, just say
And you are going to be okay!
But the voices in her head kept screaming,
You are going to break, you are,
How long are you going to keep faking,
I want to see how far!
She kept fighting those thoughts,
Telling herself It is no big deal,
I just need a couple of vodka shots,
and nothing will I feel!
But deep down inside, she knew
The craziness, laughters and smiles,
were all nothing but a facade,
Nothing but lies!
She wanted to tell somebody,
Everything that she felt,everything that she is going through
But she never felt ready
Never felt right to tell the truth!
She closed her eyes and told herself
tomorrow is a new day
and you are going to be okay!
