Each day that goes by, you see me with the biggest and brightest smile. Always fooling around, making jokes. Doing funny things for others amuse. Every day I pretend to be someone who I am not. You see me surrounded by a lot of friends. You’ll never see me alone, I get along with everyone. You see me living an amazing life, telling everyone to love themself. That for every dark stormy day, a sunny bright day will follow. You will see someone who everyone admires, someone who loves themself but…...In reality, it's all just a lie. You see me with the biggest smile but I only smile to avoid questions from others. You see me making jokes and laughing around because I wish I was as happy as everyone else. You see me with all my friends giving them hugs and telling them how much I love them. But even though I have all this people around me, I feel alone.I feel like I am in a maze, lost trying to find an exist that leads to happiness. I feel like I’m walking in a path that leads to nothing. Questioning everything I do. When I tell you to “Love Yourself” Do it. Because once you hate yourself, you always will. Each night that goes by, I finally become who I am. I am a lost soul in this world, no longer knowing if I should keep up the act or to give up. I sit in bed, looking at pitch darkness. Waiting for him….It always takes him a while to arrive, but when he finally comes, he destroys me. He shows me no one cares, He tells me I’m not needed. Each time I try to run away from him. He catches me. He eats of my fear, he enjoys my tears. He is a tall dark figure, who always has an evil smile when he comes to visit. When you see me in the halls and my smile sometimes wipes off quickly sometimes it's because of him. You may be wondering who he is, well it's an old friend of mine. He caused me to hate myself, he told me I wasn’t good enough.He is someone who we all fear, someone no one needs in their life. Even though you fear him, you’ll stop and eventually you’ll accept him. He is someone who everyone seems to talk about. Someone who doesn’t accept success or happiness, He only accepts failure. He is my dear old friend, Depression.
