This poem is about depression. Many people you know might have it, yet you'll probably never find out about it. It keeps people away when they want to be close. Anybody could get depression, it's sad how people with the biggest hearts, can get held back with such force. If you know someone that has depression, please, help them. You may be saving their lives.
Laughing.
Laughing.
At my jokes.
Screaming.
Crying.
Inside of me.
Having
fun,
with my friends.
Streams of tears
drip down my
heart.
I smile,
when I
see
you.
You smile,
when you
see
me.
I
bleed,
when I
see
you.
You smile,
when you
see
me.
Screaming.
Crying.
Inside.
Laughing.
Smiling.
I
wave
to
you.

The poem seems simple, but It may have taken youa while to write. When ever I try to write a poem they take me 10 minutes- 1 week. The simpler the poems are for me the harder they are to write. This poem was really good.

I love it, It's what I needed, It reminds me of my poem called "tears of blood", It seems there exists, in every bit of happiness, sadness, or depression, lies immediately within that.
