Sadness is tears after losing a game or a broken bone, depression is sobs at 3 in the morning when you're all alone. Sadness makes you blue, depression makes you numb. Sadness loses to happy, depression loses to none. Sadness says, "I love you, hold me", depression screams, "I love you, go away!". Sadness is only fleeting, depression brings its bags to stay. Sadness is the curious neighbor, depression is the unwanted houseguest. Sadness is 'today is a bad day', depression is 'miserable at best'. Sadness is calling your mother on the phone, depression turns your tongue into stone. Sadness is your hotel room, depression is your home.
