pretending to be happy is one of the most exhausting things in the world. -e.g.

by lina adams

depression is a house

where the walls are falling in

the piano is out of tune

you sink in the couch cushions too deep

warm water never comes out of the tap.

depression is a car

with a whiny engine

a radio playing mediocre sad songs

stains covering upholstery

sticky spots on the steering wheel

a broken gps.

depression is a person

who smiles at everyone

remembers all their names

has almost a 4.0 gpa

3 ap classes

a “perfect” family

new car

lots of friends

and eyes that haven’t seen color

for four and a half years now.
