Fighting Depression
Fighting Depression
At times you wish you were dead
Because the situation you are in is bad
You sometimes feel like no one understands
And you carry everything on your shoulders
Your heart becomes a cage for all your problems
Your life becomes a ticking bomb
Devastated by the lies and conspiracies
Everyone living your side when needed the most
You choose to fight
Fight a battle you don't even comprehend
Your mind clouded with negativity
Your heart having a little light of hope
You are lost in wilderness
Caged by loneliness and isolation
Depression clouding your imagination
You wish you could anticipate
You have no one to talk to
You are alone
And your loneliness results in negative thoughts
Your pills seems like a solution
You are stuck in confusion
Your heart is like a clock
Running even faster than bolt
You have turned it into a volt
Call it depression
The battle needs weapons of mass destruction
Everyone becoming your enemy
Because you wish they could understand but they don't
At times you wonder where to go
You ask yourself so many questions with no answers
Heart moaning like a widow
You life is screwed
You have great thoughts
But your poverty is like a dark tunnel
Where do you go? You ask yourself
Tears are no more
You wish you had that one girl who understood you
Someone who treasured you but no
Every girl sees a demon in you
You belong to no one
At least music understands your pain
At least music appreciates your gain
Your strength increases
Yet your heart weakens
Fight depression they say
Never an easy road
A road without a map truth be told
Never easy its true
