Do you know what it's like
to feel sad?

It hurts for awhile,
so deep your bones ache,
heavy like lead,
weighing you down.

But after awhile,
after so many fake smiles
and 'I'm fine's
and lies so well rehearsed
that you almost want to scream when no one notices,
even though that's what you wanted...

After all that,
you become numb.

The pain doesn't go away,
but it's more of a dull, throbbing ache now,
always enough to feel it
but never completely there.

It drags you down,
slowly
slowly
almost like drowning.

And you learn there's no fighting it,
no getting out,
no pulling yourself free.

After awhile,
even those little moments
of breaking the surface
of feeling alive and happy again
just disappear.

If only you'd told someone sooner,
let your walls down,
gotten help...

But now
you're too far gone,
in too deep.

And finally
you just



give in.
