What is depression really? Is there one concrete definition, or has the meaning loosened as our generation has continued it's downhill descent? To me, depression is simply my life. I'm not suicidal. I'm not a cutter. I don't hate the world. I don't dress completely in black. I'm just sad. I've been sad for what feels like my entire life, but that's not true. I was happy once and I can vaguely remember what it felt like, but I can't touch it. I can't get that happiness back, I don't know how. That's what depression is to me, knowing what happiness is, but never being able to touch it, to feel it.- Jenny Leigh


I can feel it beginning to end
We weren't meant to be more than friend
I thought we were right for eachother
But if we are, why do we hurt one another
Why have you given me so many reasons to cry
Why are you letting this die
I think I knew from the start
That I would never truly have your heart
I wonder all the time
If you still want mine
Is it even worth trying any longer
I am not getting any stronger
I promised I would love you
But only if you would love me too

Deeply personal poem. Inspired by some things I'm going through right now.
