Depression
September 11, 2009
Depression is gray; dull, dark gray
It sounds like an empty silence
It tastes like flavorless food
It smells like smoke, but not a nice, hickory smoke; a smoke that makes you cough
It looks like an overcast sky
Depression makes you feel helpless, hopeless, and worthless

Very nice! For me, it's hard to write about emotions, at least, write about them well. But you, did awesome.
