A horrible feeling in my stomach

A pit that sucked away every shred of happiness I had

All I saw was the color gray

Drowning in darkness

Falling into despair

It destroyed my confidence

It hunted me down

It took over my mind

It felt like going into outer space without a spacesuit

It is a gray, rainy sky

Everything is going numb

All I hear are my ragged breaths

I am alone, in a gray wasteland

A stranger in my own mind

Depression is a monster that takes away everything
