Depression. Here's to us.

Here’s to the ones who have nothing figured out in their lives currently, the ones who wake up each day with no desire to ever leave their beds,

the ones who fake smiles and wear a mask each day just so they wouldn’t hurt anyone around them,

here’s to the ones who sleep with tears in their eyes and pain in their hearts, the ones who stay inside for days trying to pull themselves together as if they’re a puzzle missing all its pieces,

here’s to the ones who find themselves spacing out thinking about how lonely they feel deeply in their bones even when they’re surrounded by all their loved ones,

here’s to the ones who are afraid of their own thoughts and own beings, the ones who have to fight every damn day so they wouldn’t drown and collapse within their own selves,

here’s to the ones who will look at you directly in the eye and tell you that they’re completely and utterly fine even when every cell in their body tells them to throw themselves at you and scream their pain and agony so loud that you wouldn’t have any other option but to listen,

here’s to the ones who don’t know who they are, who feel as if they’re so many people all at once, who cannot afford the luxury of understanding their minds, here’s to the ones who ache silently, cry from within and stand strong as if their worlds aren’t collapsing down on them,

here’s to the strongest souls out there, the ones who suffer all by themselves.

Here's to us, the one who suffers alone yet stand together without knowing it 🙂
