Changed Because Of Depression

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2008 with permission of the Author.

Where is that cheerful girl I used to know?
I look in the mirror and it's like I don't even recognize myself.

I look so down and tired,
I don't see that girl who was so happy so long ago.

What happened to the days I would smile?
Where are the days that my heart wouldn't break?
Where have I gone?

I see that girl when I look in the mirror, but she's too far gone.
I can't bring her back to life, she's feeling too much strife.

I feel her inside me, but my depression won't let her come out.
I think the old me is gone without doubt.
