together we can understand

reflections entry;

depression is an illness,
not something you do.
how would you feel,
if all it was happening to you?
would you want to run,
would you want to hide?
it seems impossible,
when you don't want to try.
what if it was in your family?
or even your best friend?
would you turn your back on them,
or stay until the very end?
nothing can make it better,
there's nothing to say.
this thing won't be over,
in just a few days.
so what if someone cuts,
of comes off as weak.
don't look at them differently,
don't call them a freak.
this is not a choice,
it's not something you pick.
depression is an illness,
but you're the one who's sick.
