depression – Amberley Charlotte Writes

There’s a shift in your mood
but no one notices

There’s pain in your heart
but no one notices

You’re
sinking
drowning
gasping for air
but no one notices

You wear
a beautiful smile
toss a joke
into the conversation
show love
support
and compassion

You need a life jacket
but no one notices

To them
you haven’t changed

You don’t
recognize yourself
anymore
and no one notices

It’s what you don’t say
that hurts the most

It’s what you don’t say
that needs to be said
