Depression kills, hundreds around us,
We pretend, it can never happen, to ones amongst us,
Questions about emotional well-being, make us aghast,
Looked down with disdain; an illness, under wraps.
Emotionally disconnected,amidst technology that connects,
Loneliness slowly affects and then wrecks.
The mind trapped, agitated, distanced from sanity
Seeks release, calmness and eternal tranquility.
We are left holding scraps of memories that eventually decay.
How can one embrace death? Don’t we owe it to life?
What could be the reason? it’s not about wrong or right!
We never get answers, the soul set free, body alight,
But the cycle continues, the illness treated with contempt and fright!
