People Do Not Fake Depression People Fake Being Okay

People don’t fake depression
People Fake being okay

Depression is real
A seal of sadness lives in you
It is easy to see
Because the eyes never lie

Many people cry without tears
Their fears are eating them alive
They smile without the truth of smiling
A depth of loneliness hovers over them
The cancer of deceit tries to grab them
There is a hole in their heart
Because life has little meaning
But don’t despair
We know life isn’t fair
Some things will break your heart
But it will fix your vision!

Decide to stand
And walk through the abyss
Don’t suppress the emotion of joy
Because the devotion to your dream
Will feed your purpose beyond any depression!

You are more than a conqueror 
Victory belongs to you and
The darkness might be 
The channel for you to see
The power of your story!
