Depression Is Real

I was trapped in a marriage
It wasn't going together
Like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can have one without the other
Try and try to mend it
It's an illusion
Specially when it's toxic
It just bring confusion
Try to end myself
It was failure
Damn I'm still here
Can't I do anything right
Seven sleeping tablets highlighted this
An eight week decision
It took me to leave this marriage
While in session with a psychiatrist
A year later
I've never been better
