lately

Depression been whooping me lately
but the only time y’all tune in
is when I turn it into a joke.
Somewhere along the way…
the things I loved
stopped loving me back.
The people that used to recharge me
started draining me.
Music don’t hit the same
just noise
filling up quiet.
Laughs feel delayed,
like my body clapping
for something my heart ain’t in.
Stuff that used to light me up
now feel like chores
I keep forgetting to care about.
I sit in rooms I used to enjoy
and feel like a stranger
in my own happiness.
Passion ain’t leave all at once
it faded…
like a slow dimming light
I ain’t notice going out.
So I keep laughing for you…
while I’m losing fights
you’ll never even know I’m in.
Guess my pain only matters
when it’s entertaining.
