Heavy

I am hollow but heavy;

I carry the weight of all my sores.

I keep them close;

I can\'t let go.

 

I am tired but awake;

I sit waiting for daylight to hit me.

You lay next to me asleep;

I told you I was fine.

 

I am winning but losing;

Every day is a battle.

I don\'t want to wake up;

That\'s if I even sleep.

 

I am loud but quiet;

My voice has weakened.

I don\'t speak out;

I\'m scared to be laughed at.

 

I am big but small;

I used to conquer all.

I\'m fighting my invisible enemy;

I\'ll win or die trying.

 

I am poor not rich;

I have nothing left.

Depression is a thief;

It has taken my life from me.
