Depression
Depression
The feeling of sorrow coming from within
The feeling of sadness when you know you can't win
The feeling of anger when nothing goes your way
The feeling of loneliness when noone listens to what you have to say
The feeling of shatter when you're left all alone
The feeling of frustration when that person doesn't answer the phone
The feeling of confusion when you don't know what choice to make
The feeling of fear when you don't know the risk you're going to take
The feeling of pain when you have to let go
Something so dear to you, yet your feelings can't show
Depression is a sickness
That breaks you down inside
Where smiles are soon to be forced
And your sheets are full of the tears you cried
It takes away your happiness
Your cheerful spirit and soul
It hides your emotions way deep down
And the amount of pain cannot be controlled
It makes you close your eyes and wonder
Why your life took such a fall
And when you try to talk to someone
There is no one to call
You lock yourself up in your room
And hide yourself from the light of day
Wishing you could go back to being a child
When all the pain would be sent away
You want to go back to the day
Where goodbye only meant till tomorrow
When getting high meant on the swingset
And you never knew the feeling of sorrow
You miss the days when boys had cooties
And you took naps twice a day
Instead your locked up in your own miserable world
Throwing your days away
You wish Juice never became Alcohol
And kissing was never to be pushed towards sex
Where you never had any worry
And your life never seemed like such a mess
You miss the moment in time
Where fun came to you with no regret
When you'd ask people for lollipops
Instead of a light for your cigarette
People talk but you refuse to listen
You stay away from family and friends
You complain about how god treats you
And how this world never freaking ends
You think about where life has taken you
And you cry until you feel the pain
Until you realize that life has no meaning
And being here is just another stupid game
You've now chosen you've had enough
You have no more time to waste
You took too many of the wrong pills
And your pillow was the last thing you had to face
Now you're gone from your miserable world
Your body is being burried under the dirt
Your spirit is now off to heaven
Because down here, depression really hurts.
