Trigger warning: The following deals with Depression and may not be suitable for some readers. If you're in crisis please call Wellness Connect Canada 1-866-585-0445.

Sinking slowly,

Silent suffering,

Sensing Sereton slip,

So, so, sad.

Shrouded secrecy.

Synthetic smile.

Senseless, stubborn shame,

So, so sad.

Smothering solitude

Scared,

Scarred,

Sore,

So, so, sad.

  • You captured me pretty well. And yes, thank you for posting the crisis line number, though, since I live in the States, I'm not sure it's available for me.
