Depression Kills

She paints a smile, upon her face
to hide the pain.
No one knows, what she feels
inside her head.

She says she's fine, even though
she wants to scream.
People walk by, never knowing she
is feeling dread.

She sits quiet, each day at lunch
and no one cares.
Her mom is gone, her kids are grown
and she's alone.

Her husband try's, to show his love
the best way he can.
But she's so tired, she's finally given up
and ready to go home.

They paint a smile, upon her face
to hide her death.
