Comfort Zone
Dwelling in my satisfaction of being alone
my depression can get so deep
feeling like a ghost stepping in and out of my own reality
society has already labeled me
So I pray God please catch me before I drift away
battle with myself daily taking pills soon to realize there's no happy pill
people telling me you can't be happy until u learn how to love yourself
looking in the mirror and I don't like what I see
It's not all about image but what have I accomplish?
who I allowed to get in my way I floated way from my dreams
Mercy from people starts to fade once you reach that adult age
cold judgement because I didn't live up to your expectation
Thrown under the bus by familiar faces
kicked and I'm already down
driven over like a dead rodent in the pigment on the ground
then you expect me to resurrect myself
I'm only human I don't have the strength of Christ who carried society on his back
I'm all out of strength so I don't have the strength to fight back
feeling like one man against an army and you expect me to fight that
hiding like a tortoise in his shell
I don't want to answer my phone
hoping I can defeat this depression next season
until then I just want to be left alone
I'm hibernating I call it
my comfort zone.
