The Invisible Killer.
Depression - Let’s End The Stigma.

And she cries into the night
with her marks
she keeps out of sight.
Waging an invisible war,
you can't make others see,
nor can you ever put it into words
that could do it justice.
It's silent, deadly,
the most sneaky
of it's kind.
It often hides behind
sweet smiles and laughter.
We often don't have the answers
so don't expect us to explain
in any coherent manner.
It's hard to fight
with smiles and positivity
when it's as simple
as brain chemistry gone wrong
but no one believes
it's just that easy, right?
Smile the sadness away, right?
It's hard to fight
what we can't see,
It's hard to fight
when no one else believes
or takes you seriously.
