depression hurts

depression hurts it stings
it does not just "go away"
although its wounds cannot
be seen.
it is with some of us
each day.
it can not be shaken off
because someone says
"you can"
it is not a thing of shame.
it is not what any of us
had
planned.
so those who have not
experienced this deepest,
harsh abyss.
to those who have,
some understanding
we really
need
for this.


thank you
