The silent killer

Kaci

Sonnet
Stabbing you through the heart,
I feel my body plunge to the floor,
I start to go cold as my mind turns blank
“How can this be happening to me” I cry.
A million thoughts in my head,
It’s getting dark now in my room
I am alone
No one is here
Except my silent killer,
DEPRESSION
