Depression is subtle

Depression is subtle.

I can feel it in my chest,

it’s slightly tighter than normal.

I can feel it in my breath,

it’s harder to breathe.

I feel tired and fatigued.

My mind is clouded.

I look around without seeing,

I have a heartbeat but no feeling.

I just want to sleep.

I don’t know when it started,

I don’t know when it will stop.

This heaviness in my heart,

is not what I want.

So I’ll continue on.
