Stripes of a Tiger

Depression is my secret It changes yourself for the worst It makes you cry, cry all night It makes you feel numb, oh god so numb But, because of this thing This thing called "depression" It made me earn my stripes Because I am a goddamn tiger, who has earned her stripes for life
