Different

Deeper than saddness I just can't see
How they use the term "depression" so loosely.
Do you really know? Do you understand?
Diagnosing me, labeling me, I'm not a item or brand.
A box on a shelf like baking soda or cake batter,
Medical school can't teach understanding and still ashes we scatter.
Here's another pill; here's the remedy,
If it doesn't work try changing it to twice daily.
Increase, decrease change the name,
Roll of the dice like my mental health is a game.
Russian Roulette, Parker Brothers,
Treat me just like one of the others.
If you felt it only then would you see
I'm not them and they are not me.

I am guilty of it and it makes me sad. This is not who I dreamed I would be when I was a kid. I thought being an adult was going to be awesome but mostly it's a conf...

Life rhythm: I ebb , I flow Windows are closed and I can't find the door. Bouncing like a dropped rubber ball ricocheting against every wall. Over and over I come and I go Never finding that place to call home. It burns and I harden like lava to rock Ticking and chiming I run like a clock. Running and running but staying in place Holding back my words trying to save face. Tears replace anger and make it all worse I don't cry because I'm weak I cry because it hurts.
