Depression’s Different Faces

Dear Depression,
❀
One day your touch is featherlight
Taunting
The next it is a fist to the gut
Brutal
❀
One moment you are
The hesitance in a smile
The next you are heavy bedsheets
And unopenable curtains
❀
Sometimes you are thunderstorms
Sheet lightning and a grumbling sky
Other times you are a drought
Dry throat, parched lips, scorched skin
❀
Sometimes you are dull eyes
And other times you are
The ones that shine to
Hide the darkness
❀
Happiness looks different
On everyone and
So do you
❀
From,
Another one of your victims
❀❀❀❀❀

I felt & resonated with each & every line in this. "One moment you are The hesitance in a smile The next you are heavy bedsheets And unopenable curtains" Been there. Still there. Never seem to be done with it.
