Depression is an unexplainable phenomenon.
You don't know it's there until it fully engulfs you.
Until you are struggling to breath under the overlapping layers of self hatred and loneliness.
You lock yourself into your coffin,
And don't let anyone see that sadness in your eyes.
I took one person to show up with a shovel, and carry me to the surface.
You.
You changed my life.
Without you, my life would have been another local news story;
An underpopulated funeral.
You gave me another chance.
You made me believe I was worth it.
That I was beautiful.
For the first time,
In a long time,
I looked in the mirror and smiled.
It takes one person to change a life. Be the reason someone smiles.
Freedom from reality is at the push of a button
Power up, log on
Behind a screen you can be whoever you choose
Profile picture, stolen face
No one will know if you told the truth
Taking advantage, faking age
You can steal the innocence from a child
Stranger danger, Trust no one
They will think you mean to do no wrong
Fake identity, lying words
You can ruin a life with the tapping of your keyboard
Sabatoge her, hate herself
