An Emotional Toll


The emotions of other people sure can take a toll on a person.

I've been surrounded by depression for my entire life.

Never have I showed symptoms of it,

not until recently.

I don't have depression,

but I give props to those who fight depression.

Seeing those I love almost give up is heartbreaking.

It's not your time... Keep fighting.

Maybe they were affected by the emotions of others as well.
