Silent killer

The silent killer 

Lurks and waits to pounce

Only subtle signs of its presence appears

People assume there just moody, sad, maybe angry


It's much deeper

An avalanche in the making 

Until one day

Silence


Then they start to worry

And only then spread awareness

Far too late

Depression is hard to deal with and many times the signs are just set aside and not worried about. In many teens it just presents as anger, irritability, laziness. People need to learn the signs.
