Depressed

You have no reason to be depressed 

or so everyone say with plastered smiles and vacant eyes

While you may hide your emotions I was taught to express mine

To not hide behind flagrant lies

you may think my life is fine 

but I'm dying inside 

every day like I'm sitting in doctors office 

the sink won't stop dripping 

litesbkeep flickering 

minutes keep ticking

and the people pass without checking inside

when someone does come in 

be a doctor

nurse or family 

l am an inscect 

unworthy of attention 

undeserving of praise 

to hard shelled to listen to criticism 

and to selfish to change 

for the people who pass

but why should I change 

for those who won't give me the time of day

for the people that say they love me

but see me as less than

because of my illness 

and when they do offer a hand 

it's out of their own selfish obligations 

but I don't need it

because I have no reason to be depressed.
