Depression

I’m an emotional creature.
For better or for worse,
there's nothing but turmoil within.
I struggle to name my feelings.
I struggle even more just to feel
the subtle difference between a grimace and grin.
Many times I cannot tell
where my happiness trails off
into that dismal place that sorrow begins.
Most of the time, it overwhelms me
and I hide myself in quiet
to let stress peel away like sunburnt skin.
