High-functioning depression is like an invisibility cloak.
To the human non-observant eye, high-functioning depression goes unnoticed.
Depression just passes by because of it’s skills and persistence in doing “what needs to be done.”
Sad inside but keep the pace up.
Keepin this face up make faces light up.
High-functioning depression is all about the highs-and-lows.
It’s always behind me
& when it hits,
“I don’t wanna disappear forever
but right now I need to not be here.”
Trust in myself led me to believe I was stronger than the words “Help”.
Relapsed and realized I had no control.
Just kept upping the dose.
Just one more to soothe the pain.
Just one to get past the rain.
Almost a month and it just seems to find me.
Knows when I’m weak.
Tap-Tap on my back
It’s always behind me,
“I don’t wanna disappear forever
but right now I need to not be here”
