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)
