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.
all the thoughts 
this is beautifully put yet so heartbreaking

Wow. Very poignant, beautifully written. Sometimes the “happiest” people are actually the ones who are suffering the most.
