The Prisoner of Heartbreak and Depression
If one seemed on being happy and smiling
Knowing a tragedy has struck in life
Then, the one is living on a huge lie
Because the heart is stabbed by one's betrayal
A selfish traitor in the dark midst
Became the worst enemy in life
May look like an innocent to other
But in reality, it's seen as a coward criminal
Everyone keeps asking this pointless question
"Are you going to be all right?"
Outside, it's hidden with energetic smiles
But inside... it's a screaming, agonized heart
This disease cannot be healed or cured
Spreading like an emotional wildfire
Or getting stabbed by a thousand knives
And possibly draining the inner strength
Family? Not able to talk to them.
Friends? Not allowing them to be closer.
Possessions? Can't get no satisfaction.
Life? Don't you dare to talk about life!
Always been everybody's burden
Can't do anything right for anyone
It's never enough for everyone
Burdened people are to be completely erased
Tired of these lies and betrayals
Exhausted from the letdowns and rejections
Angry from the pain and heartbreak
Dying from the sadness and emptiness
Hunger cannot give the strength
Sleep cannot wipe away the tears
People cannot give the comfort
Miracles cannot heal broken hearts
Crying hard and endlessly in the nights
Alone in a lonely bedroom of darkness
Screaming in agony from the heartbroken pain
Burning in a raging anger against the betrayer
Depressed is all the only real feeling
Wanting to be locked in total isolation
Fear of all the teasing and mockery
Entrapped in an outside world full of lies
The only possible way to a painless end?
Is to die like the way Veronika did on her own story
Let the unhappy and harmed body take control
Slowly waiting for the untimely death
But before that, let a sad son be sung
Or let a final letter to be written upon
Confessing a final and painful farewell
For there's no point to be happy again
Even if tears are falling endlessly
No one will hear the cries of help
Keeping a great distance from the world
This is done to protect everyone from the depressed one
No acceptance and no love
All rejections and all heartbreak
True happiness being lost forever
Consumed forever in eternal darkness
As a living person or a dead ghost
Alone and deeply depressed
Carrying the shackles of loneliness
And the chains tightening the sorrows
From the beginning to its tragic end
Shackles and chains never to be free
Destined to become one kind of person
A prisoner of heartbreak and depression
