Depression

I don't want to open my eyes.

Another day I'm dreading.

It's always a struggle to get out of bed.

No matter how many tries.

They are all expecting me.

My legs feel like weights.

I choose what fake face to put on.

It only matters what they see.

They say I look so good.

They don't know that I'm dying.

I'm fake laughing and smiling.

I'm behaving like I should.

Another night another contemplation.

Wondering if tonight will be it.

Should I go through one more day,

Or should I take all this medication?
