You Never Know
You never know, you see
When the next time will be.
One moment, you may be happy.
As happy as can be
The next, deep sadness and depression strike suddenly.
Suffocating pressure, like drowning in the depths of the sea
You feel shame as you wonder, "what's wrong with me?"
Emotion, so heavy on your chest that you struggle to breathe
It's no wonder that you have no energy
Time seems to slow, the seconds go by drearily
Shame fills you, as you remember how strong you used to be
Especially when just saying hi feels like a small victory
After what feels like an eternity
The feeling leaves, almost bitterly
And despite the feeling leaving me
I still remember fearfully
That suffocating agony
There are others like me
How others don't see it in us, to us seems a mystery
Yet I know they'd say with me
"You never know, you see
When the next time will be."
