Smile Again
I want to be up and happy and feeling my best.
But I don't get it, I wake up and feel depressed.
I have nothing to be in a bad mood about.
But I just want to sit here and not go out.
I am missing so many good times, it isn't fair.
All my body and mind say is I don't care.
In my mid-twenties and already want to cash in?
I want this life, I want it to come out and begin.
Maybe there is a chemical imbalance in my brain.
Trapped inside and its sunny, but in here only rain.
Yeah I can go to the doctor and he can give me some pills,
but the effects are weight gain, moodiness, and some people it kills.
I just want to be able to smile again.
Or at least know I can and when.
Its so hard to tell people nothing, but everything is wrong.
And everyday gets harder and it takes so long,
I just want to smile once more,
maybe walk on the ocean shore.
Just make it through today and survive.
Just be happy that I am alive.
