Broken

Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go
There's more than meets the eye
A broken boy inside

Trying to fight depression
Fallen prey to the great deception 
Life at home is tough
He's almost had enough

Searching for a meaning
Not sure which way to be leaning
Headphones in twenty-four seven
Want's nothing to do with God or Heaven

Lost, confused, alone
Scared, no place to go
Fighting demons deep down
He'd go to hell before he'd make a sound

A glimmer of hope just out of reach
She shows him her ways, tries to teach
An angel in the dark, a bullet hitting the mark
A life line before it's too late, a chance in time, fate

Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go
There's more than meets the eye 
A broken boy inside

It is hard to struggle through depression like this, not knowing what to do next, we live in a world now that help and understanding is only a few clicks away. I am sure many can relate to your write, keep that pen pouring your pain, and any other emotion that comes your way.
