laggard movements and thoughts linger.
happiness,
I don't quite remember.
distortion, feedback, and delusion.
fake smile,
you are habitual.
exertion of body is the remedy.
close the door,
my mind is astray.
delicate and sentient.
please,
lower your voice.
dedication to this anguish.

I clicked on this because of the Spanish title and as I read the first few lines, I thought "this is the perfect description of depression" and then I scrolled down and saw the contest title--Depression. Very well done. Conveys much in few words.

Your words carry a haunting feeling about them...being dedicated to ones on anguish.Exertion of the body the only remedy yet closes the door to keep all pains safely inside...powerful words my friend and thank you for sharing

It's got something about it that reminds me of a quite a few songs by Seether, while at the same time remaining totally unique. I loved the rhythm, beautifully done.
Thank you
