Depressed

Never been so depressed in all my life
I have never had something bother me so much
Physically, mentally, and emotionally I am hurting

Thank god for my Auntie Gloria
She said a prayer for me today
I really needed that

I am so down it hurts to smile
I’m use to frowning
I don’t want to be here

I hate being depressed
Every five minutes I am stuffing something in my mouth
Peace God, can I please have some peace?

Can I be so happy til it’s like I never knew pain?
I want to smile everyday
When I cry I want them to be tears of joy

When I sing I want someones soul to smile
I don’t want anyone to look in my eyes and see sadness
I don’t want them to hear sadness in my voice

I know everything happens for a reason
So I wont ask why
Just know that I need you God
