Depression

What do you do,
When you feel down,
Hang your head low,
As it feels your lower then the ground,

Build your tears up inside,
Keep a smile on your face,
That everything else you hide,

Stay to yourself,
Act as nobody is around,
Write poems like I do,
Tell some feelings,

Though nothing is accomplished,
Talk till your blue in the face,
Just to vent,

No one asks for stuff,
Who cares for little to nothing,
That seem to be torn apart,
If things fail,

Pick yourself up again,
I might not have an eight hour job,
But I try to do my best,
I do laundry cook clean and babysit,

What am I doing wrong,
For no small break,
I'll continue to stand in the rain,
And just let tears fall....
