My Depression

Where am I? Where do I begin?
Every day I seem to have a sin
Where am I? I ask you now
How do I replace my body and face somehow?

I cannot look in the mirror cause all I see
Is this blob and ugly all around me
I just close my eyes and put my hands on my face
Tears is all that I do replace

I keep quiet and let people run my life
I really want to be someone's wife
But my illness gots a hold of me
I just hope my man and I can be

Where am I? Why do I hide?
I know I got him by my side
Where am I? What do I do?
I just got to stop and think through

I got to look deep inside my heart
somethings missing but where do I start 
How do I change to get the strength
Should I turn my heart to faith

I keep quiet and let my feelings burn 
I know someday that I will learn
I keep my feelings locked in a shell
Why do I feel low and cannot tell?

Where am I? Why do I hate myself for real?
I know somehow I coup and deal
Where am I? I hope to face
My depression I wish I could erase!!
