Looking outside the window
I think to myself
I am so depressed
I am so sad
I am so hurt
But why does no one understand
My internal pain

People say it is a phase
Lying to my face
We all go through it
Time heals everything

If you went through it
You would know
It never really heals
Unless it is concealed

I know you know
People go through it
I know you know
It gets better
What you don’t know
Is that you don’t feel
What I feel
What you don’t know
Is that I only want
Attention

I tried to reach out
But what I fear the most
Being laughed at
Being judged upon
Being made
Into someone I don’t wanna be

I might forget my pain
Periodically
As if it was never
A big deal
Because you know
I’m only just
Chronically depressed
