Teen Depression Poem

You see a smile on the outside
But that’s all you can see
What if tears run down my face on the inside?
You hear a laugh on the outside
But that’s all you can hear
What if I’m crying out for help on the inside?
You smell the scent I wear everyday on the outside
But that’s all you can smell
What if it smells of death on the inside?
You feel soft, smooth skin on the outside
But that’s all you feel
What if I’m being torn apart on the inside?
You taste sweet lips kissing you on the outside
But that’s all you can taste
What if my lips taste of blood on the inside?
You can tell I’m happy on the outside
But what if you can’t tell I’m dying on the inside?
