Depression Day One

Depression pressure hits different when it’s pressing on the last piece of your mental

Stressing through the physical

Trying to rebound the fiscal

And always escape the usual, cycle perpetual

Life flow better when its contextual

Depression

It will turn you off but I’m trying to decide how to press on and press forward

But how do I still end up at times going backwards

Like I’m trying to dig myself out of this problem but I’m really digging my own 
grave

And the danger isn’t so grave when you always sleep in the dark

Feels like I’m building an ark, no one believes my story or can understand what I’m going through

Thoughts of just pushing the knife through

Then switching over to this is something I can get through

But, it’s like a forever cycle that’s never threw

So, I throw up my thoughts from the sickness of life

I just want to be better, but tomorrow isn’t so bright

So, when they ask me how I’m feeling I always say “aight”

The weight is anything but light, so I guess that’s why it feels like someone turned off the lights

My life feels like a whole lot of might’s, maybe’s, and we’ll sees

Because the darkness around me has me drowning at sea

By myself so when I wave I hope the waves come back at me calmly

p.s. I wish I could live a normal day…
