My Depression

My Depression. 

My depression does not last for a few weeks or a few months, it lasts for years.

Slowly but surely eating away at everything I am, my happiness, my compassion, my ability to wake up and want to get up out of bed.

It\'s like a never ending cycle of sleepless nights, barely eating and countless hours staring at my ceiling.

People may not be able to see my depression but I can, it\'s like a dark shadow standing over me every minute of every day, dedicated to making my life seem absolutely pointless.

I may laugh, smile and look happy but what I have realised is that no one cares to look close enough to see it\'s one big act.

So I simply say, \" I\'m fine\".
