Depression Makes You An a Student

It's a letter to you and me
Better living for denial
We focus on the ink 
Not on the pink

Or any of our once
Cheesy smiles

I lock up inside
One thing on my mind
A way to leave
Constant tear soaked rhymes

If this taught me anything
It would be an entire lesson 
plan
School is their for me allways
Freinds, girlfriends they seem 
to 
Never pick a place and stand

So with a 4.0 on my paper
And tears in my eyes maybe
Ii can tell myself how proud I 
am
And a different side will rise

I want to want to be alone
Nobody holding my hand
And I have myself to call my 
own

It's too bad I needed to trip
After I fell but I will make this 
mine
Because this fire 
I have dosn't belong in Hell

The fire I have belongs in my 
heart
And out of my eyes
The only one that should fight
Should have no chance to die

Help me on my journey
if you want
But helping you is not 
automatic anymore and
Reaching is the only way this 
time

 There is no next time
This change is within my bones 
Look at a timeline long enough
And you realized you make 
your path
And only you should have the 
potential

To walk it wrong...
