Stephen Corbally Poet Rhyme

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and why i,m so withdrawn 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
