Eyes that shined like emeralds
and his smile brighter than the city lights
A chuckle that sounds like thunder
heard from afar.
his happiness glowed bright
but that glow dimmed
until there wasn’t a glow
anymore.
Eyes were a pale gray
and his breath fouler than a rotten apple
A faint sob that sounds like an animal
heard from his bedroom door
Red, white and blue glowed bright
but the sobs faded out
until there wasn’t a sob
anymore.
depression is easy
to cover up
for it’s a mask one can wear all day
they chuckle, they smile, and they’ll even say
“I’m fine, sister,
let’s just go play.”
