Depression Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

He hides his depression
behind a fake smile
hoping that someone
will notice
that everything isn't ok!
but what people don't see
is that; when he is alone
he cries silent tears
and bottles them up
in his soul!

He hopes that the demons
of his painful past would
just disappear
and leave him alone,
but they dont!
so, he lays waste, trapped,
in a prison without bars!

He hopes that
someone would eventually
rescue him from the pain entrenched in his soul
but no one comes to his rescue
so he is forced
to battle suicidal thoughts
alone in his mind!
