Depression Is Like a Prison
Waking up in the early morning light
To the mellifluous chirps coming from the birds outside the window
It used to be so peaceful to me
But now I wake up and it is like a burden upon my shoulders.
A burden so strong it's like my already aching body is slowly losing the capability it once had
My mind was once filled with so much hope
And now all of this despair is taking over
Depression is like a prison and I'm sentenced
25 to life
