Depression

Are you Depressed?
She asked.

So many glanced,
No one answered.

But to some it touched,
Deeper than they thought,
Brought memories, stories, incidents
painful, fearful and what not.

Can you face this?
Without loosing the only thing you’re hanging on to.

It might not be easier,
but sure it is the wiser,
if you’re reading this,
must know that there’s someone
to lend an ear

The smiles are fake,
Hollow those loud cheer,
illusion is what they surrounded with themselves
if you touch the soul,
the pain is sheer

But worry not oh my dear,
lonely you may feel,
think, isn’t it easier to kill?
There will be always one to say,
Wait! I’m here, I’m here.
