In the Midst of Depression
Every day I try to pretend
All is well that’s what I intend
As I wear this mask of deception
I hide the hurt that triggers depression
The emptiness inside my heart
Causes my mind to fall slowly apart
The pain and sorrow are much to bear
Not knowing how long will I despair
On lonely nights I cried until I slept
Still I hang on to little hope that’s left
I pray for strength as I always do
Believing that God will see me through
And as I undergo the depths of life
Hope will keep my will to survive
