Like the warmth that resides
in your favorite smiles,
or the fear of uncertainty
in those unknown miles,
or the security that is found
in the arms that hold you,
or the beliefs of the supernatural
that you think are true,
All the emotions,
all the traditions, that are felt upon,
though physically absent,
their presence forever lives on,
Depression is real too,
an endless and swallowing reality,
lurking behind and around,
all the vulnerable minds, unable to flee,
It's like a vacuum,
a void that is woven into infinity,
that is emptier than empty,
that devours every thread to sanity,
It is inhabiting the dark shadows under the eyes,
or silently present in the loud laughter,
it is readily occupying the newly wed bride,
or in the supposedly happy blockbuster actor,
If you want to detect it,
get rid of the ignorant eye,
and the insensitive heart,
and the shallow mind,
For depression consumes the soul,
along with the beautiful mind,
like a strong wood is demolished,
inch by inch, by a couple of tiny termites.
