Depressed and Feeling Sad

This feeling has taken control of me; 
no longer contented as I used to be. 
Tears well in the corners of my eyes;
I struggle to hold them back, but begin to cry.

The calamities of our life are getting the best of me.
As I wonder, is this how it ends, is this destiny?

Right now, departing this world would seem such a blessing.
An end to the hopelessness and constant stressing.

"What is meant to be, will be." They all say.
All that is needed to chase this sadness away;
a smile from you or to hear you say, "Everything will be O.K."
