Depression Wars
What's the matter?
Are you worn-out?
Are you fatigued and tired?
Oh...please don't speak
I’ll help you out in no time
Just take your time to heal
Rest on my shoulder
if it helps you
Loosen up the strain
and be lead charitably like a train
on its train tracks
You need your rest
I could tell by the absence of your energy
spreading across your body and soul
It was my lucky guess
I must confess
that I felt insecure and hopeless
without you there
Oh...I can't bear
The thought of you
Leaving me behind
and unwanted in the street
I'm struggling with this
depression wars
I can't fight it
alone
I tried to fight
the useless tears,
the countless fears,
taking over me
I didn't mean to show
all that filthy anger
that crafts quarrels
Now I'm trying hard
To scrub the filthiness
Deep inside of me
This unwanted depression--
I haven't ever asked for it
I'm fighting this depression wars
now and forever
for you
My burdened soul cries for help
It wells up in pain
Why must I be
Messed up?
Screwed up?
Don't tell me that I'm
ignorant...self-centered
I've never asked
for this feeling of
repulsive remorse
Are you willing
to leave all our regrets behind,
taking us away from tranquil life?
Are you willing
to fight this depression wars
together as a team?
(this poem is based on a character I made a while back)
