Sometimes finding the words to express how heavy your heart is, is hard to do. And what’s even harder is finding the words to explain how badly you wish for some sign of hope in your life that there are going to be brighter days. Depression has this way of coloring your world in different shades of gray, bringing your spirits to an all time low, leaving you feeling empty and lost.
