Depression isn't always sadness.
Depression is apathy. Depression is a world where your friends are so
frustrated
with trying to help you, that they stop.
Depression is being chained within reach of a key, and
having no desire to unlock yourself.

Hopelessness isn't always a world with no solutions.
Hopelessness is surrender. Hopelessness is a world with solutions
and zero drive
to fix the problems.
Hopelessness is being convinced you're worthless so often
That you believe it.
Hopelessness is being tied within reach of a knife, and using
that knife to hamstring yourself.

"I'm okay." Isn't always okay.
"I'm okay." Is avoiding an argument.
"I'm okay." Is pushing away those trying to help
because you can't handle
putting them through the same thing
again.
"I'm okay." Is the delusion of saving your friends
by hurting yourself.

Defeat is surrender.
Defeat is when the heartless world
breaks you down so badly
that you freeze to death in the world's coldness.
The icy claws of a planet that has no reason to care
takes the time to pull you into
a tomb of silence.
