Depression
Trying to get some sleep again
daylight comes creeping in
Here's when i fight my demons most
the fight i rarely win
This voice that never leaves me
always playing with my mind
telling me i'm not so special
i,m not one of a kind
I,m bad and mad and worthless
is usually what they say
things will never change for you
this will always be your way
Don't burden people with your madness
no one wants to know
they'll think you want attention
they'll say its all a show
So i do the worst thing possible
and keep this all inside
constantly telling people i,m doing fine
even though each time i lied
If only i could tell my loved ones
exactly whats going on
why i,m always on my own
and why i,m so withdrawn
Maybe that would help me
and change my life for real
change the way i view myself
and change the way i feel
It may get worse before its better
but somethings got to give
to feel this way about yourself
is not a way to live
I,m pushing for a change in life
its time for something new
try feel good about myself
and change my point of view
I know that voice will never leave
though convincing its not always true
so i guess i,ll keep on fighting
anything to make it through
