Depression

I wish I could cry

but I've run out of tears

I would ask for help

but no one would hear.

I watch without emotion

at the goings-on nearby

Not feeling and not caring

my eyes are bone-dry.

I don't belong with these people

who laugh and smile and try

I'm a single rain cloud

lost in a clear blue sky.

Alone in this world

I no longer care

Because I know

life is cruel and unfair.
