Depression

There isn't any injury, there isn't any blood But in my head I'm suffering, not doing things I should Every day routine is such a heavy burden I go to bed and can't get up, my pillows always sodden A friendly face will ask me "how are you today?" And deep down within me I scream " just go away" You see, the pain is in my head, it just won't go away The demons deep inside there every single day I go to bed at night time to settle down and rest And just like a horror movie, the demons are at their best Nobody would miss me and I could end this pain Then I wake up in the morning and it all starts off again I'm sinking ever deeper, please lower down your hand Please throw me down a lifeline, help me to understand Am I worthy of this world? I have no more to give Please offer understanding, give me a chance to live Be patient, give me time, just be there when I'm in need And next time when you turn around you'll know that I've been freed Thank you for your caring and just for being there I'm conquering my demons just because you cared.
