Depression Poem by Zenzy Mabona

Depression

What do you call a person,
A person who is hurt,
A person who is destroyed,
A person who is depression,

Simple, Why
Why don't you treat me like the others,
Why don't you love me like the others,
Why have me,
Why keep me,

Is it because I'm sick,
Is it because I'm the only daughter,
Is it because I'm ugly,
Or is it because u just don't love me,

U carried me for 9 months
To use me
To abandon me
To hate me
To use me to care for your other kids
