When I went through depression, this is how I felt. I'm now happier and loving life.
Me (My Old Self)

I was once a happy child
With no pain and no depressing thoughts in my mind
As time went by
Pain and depression found a home
A home inside of me
Pain has found a home inside of my heart
It has filled up my whole heart
Each day, more comes and fills up more of my heart
Eventually, my heart won’t be able to consume all of this pain
It will soon explode
And heartless I may become
Depression has found a place in my mind
Most days, the depression will show
It will show on my face
It will show in the way I act
You may not think anything is seriously wrong with me by taking a quick look
Take a good look at me
Take a deep look into my eyes
You can see the pain in my eyes
Each and every day I cry on the inside
Every day I want to cry on the outside
Millions of tears have fallen from my eyes
Every one of those tears is tears of pain
Me, who was once a happy child
Is now someone who is struggling with a lot of pain and depression each and every day.
