the signs of depression Poem, by Ace, at My poetic side

y did u never tell us u were hurting,

but i did tell u

i told u when i started distancing myself,

when i became more quiet

i told u when i stopped getting out of bed,

when i stopped leaving my room

i told u when i started wearing hoodies in summer,

when my smile started to fade

i told u i needed help,

u never listened

i was screaming for help,

but u just watched as i drowned

so dont ask me y i never told u i was hurting,

cause i did

communication is so often not expressed verbally, as it is more expressed through action or no action. With depression, there are signs, not words. This carries through reminding me to watch and listen, to pay attention to the little things that we tend to overlook. Very well expressed.
