Depression Definitions
Depression doesn't always mean beautiful girls shattering at the wrist, a glorified heroic battle for your sanity or mothers that never get the chance to say good bye.
Sometimes depression means
not getting out of bed for three days
because your feet refuse to believe that they will not shatter upon impact on the floor.
Sometimes depression means
that summoning the willpower to go downstairs and do the laundry.
Probably the most impressive thing you accomplish that week.
Sometimes depression means
lying on the floor staring at the wall for hours
because you cannot convince your body that it is capable of movement.
Sometimes depression means
not being able to write for weeks
because the only words you have to offer the world are trapped and drowning.
Sometimes depressions means
ignoring every phone call for an entire month
because yes they have the right number
but you're not the person they're looking for,
not anymore.
