Sad, Rainy Gray

I know a girl who walks

Behind me in the halls

Tries to melt into the

Crowd or even the walls

She used to stand upright

With pride laced in her spine

Now she walks slumped with

The world’s weight consigned

Her sparkling green eyes have

long since lost their bold shine

Dulled to a sad, rainy gray

To keep you from her shoreline

I haven’t seen a smile on

Her soft, paled desert lips

In so long and the words

She whispers seem like script

Her eyes have sunk like stained

Trenches painted with shadows

Though her pain seems evident

No one seems to really know

She occupies a place

In space that goes unheard

A place that’s passed by

And no one says a word

This girl’s name is Depression

A constant figure in our lives

She follows you until you see

All the happiness she deprives

She’s a haunting shadow

For those who can’t escape

Her dark, hunched enmity

That drowns you like a wave

Though, there is one thing she

Fears and that is real help

So if you truly wish to be free

All your sorrow must be dealt
