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 By Walter Mafokate
