What is Depression?

People think Depression is constant sadness/

Constant tears, a dark outlook on life/

Always thinking about or wanting to die.

When in actuality/

Depression can be a happiness that swells your heart for any good news, no matter how small/

It\'s laughing louder than thunder/

When your eyes sparkle, filled with stars/

It is being the comedian when others seem out of sorts/

Because you are all too aware of how it feels.

Depression is caring too much and too little/

It is feeling empty and full/

It is joy and sadness/

It is the battle between wanting to experience life to its fullest/

And being curious of Death.

Depression is a mixture of light and dark/

Wanting to be there for others but not yourself.

And yet, here you are/

You are here today/

Despite those darkening clouds above your head.

You\'ve found a way to dance in the rain/

To make music from the thunder/

And paintings from the lighting.

Depression/

It is beautifully tragic/

It is the ability to turn the light to dark/

And yet, the dark to light.
