                       I am
                 here to share, my
              confession, the hell of
         this dark depression. You wait for
           the time to go, when it's not
              as easy for your scars
                     to show.

                       It's
                not something to face
            all alone, you just can't seem
         to find a safe home. If and when you
            make it through, you pray for
                a better life to hold
                       onto.

                       You
                  know people care,
             they want to help, to share.
          So you take your medicine, attend
             your therapy, every one looks
                  forward to your
                     recovery


                       That
                  day of course
             is not likely to come. Your
          not going to let on. As you cover
             stains of tears, fight the
                 compulsion of your
                      fears

                       You
                   present with
              decorum and grace not
         wanting anyone to see your disgrace
            or the pain and lonliness
                     on your
                      face.

                    Gradually
               you relinquish your
          dreams. Fight to normality is
   defeated by anguish, drugs, silent screams.
      there’s no such thing as a normal day
           as you try, to please the
                    gallery.

                      No
                 one wants to
              see you miserable so
          you paint on a smile all the
            while knowing that the
                   damage is,

                  irreversible.
