Broken Free of Depression

Depression is not just a sickness of the mind
A reason to go on is hard to find.
Down down into a deep dark obis
The way out is very easy to miss.
It doesn't matter what people do or say
You'll just smile and say "I'm OK".
You don't think they'll understand or even how to explain it
Stuck in your own world you will sit.
There is no magic cure and I don't hold the key
I'll just try telling you what's been working for me.

Drink and drugs have gone with the wind
Some friends and family I have also binned.
Anything that brings negativity has had to go
Only positive energy I'm allowing to flow.
I went back to nature, I went back to our source
Meditation I found to be a powerful force.
I turned off my TV and PC screen
Half of my worries were no where to be seen.
The future is not promised to anyone
So each day I try and smile and have some fun.

The anxieties you feel now, they never last
Not one person can change their past.
Life won't always be smiles and sweetness
Believing it can't change is your only weakness.
Keep a strong heart and don't lose your mind
We all have a purpose waiting for us to find.
It's this broken system that has us depressed
Everything is backward, with our minds they messed.
