Analysis of 2018/09/12 ~ Depression
Cheyenne Seaman 2003 (Philadelphia)
Depression, you come so suddenly!
You're so unwanted here!
Yet, I don't know what to do
Except go to my knees in prayer.
Loved ones surround me, laughter is around.
I hide this pain and sorrow
Behind a perfected mask of joy
Because there's no use in being one to wallow.
Wanting to cry, feel like I can't
Not until I'm utterly alone.
Show nobody that a heart's bleeding,
Show nobody that Depression's seed has been sown.
Keep it stored away in a bottle,
Float it out to the vast unknown of the sea.
Depression, you're so unwanted here!
Alas! You come so suddenly!
