Today Was A Bad Day

Depression is like your shadow
that doesn't leave when the
sun goes down.
It waits in the corner of
the room until you're at
your most vulnerable,
and then it attacks
leaving you helpless and alone.

Your body literally aches
as your mind shuts down
and tears roll down your cheeks.
Over and over you contemplate
whether it is worth living.
Whether there is anything
left on this planet for you.

Despite knowing differently,
you feel alone and ignored.
Today, I was depressed.
Today, I needed someone...
I needed my friend.
And he was nowhere to be found.
