What depression feels like.

Depression is My Shadow

by Brandi Radaker

I carry around my sadness 

Like my shadow, it follows me 

Even in the happy moments 

I feel the weight of its darkness 

Pulling me deeper into it’s grasp 

It’s attached itself to me 

And no matter what I do, 

It won’t let me go 

I belong to it
