Depression is like a spell cast over you by a much greater force,
It takes over the body and is controlled by someone else,
Emotions flood over the body like a waterfall,
And everyone around is affected by it as if hit by the black plague,
You can contain it for a little while but it wont go away,
It stays like a bad cough,
You can take medicine but it comes back,
When you get sick of the boomerang you throw it hoping it wont come,
But it comes right back in your hand.
Depression is like quick sand it swallows you hole when you try to move,
Its as contagious as a cold all it takes is one sneeze and you got it,
But nobody understands how bad it is when your cold turns into pneumonia,
They say its ok just give it a week or two,
A couple weeks pass and its too late you're too far gone,
And then your the news of the week,
The attention you needed,
The attention you deserved,
You get but its too late,
you're gone and they still don't even know the truth,
They know what you had but they don't know how you felt.
