Depression,

Many people do not know the meaning of it,

Unfortunately,

I do,

I was one of its victims,

I didn't know I had choices, resources

To fight against it,

I couldn't ask for help,

I was living in darkness,

There was no such thing called hope.

When you are labeled as "illegal"

It's hard to leave the only place

You feel "happy" by yourself.
