Another weekend come and gone
Monday's here again
Everyone is back to work
And I'm my only friend
Trying to keep my mind awake
Busy busy I must be
For if I stop and think to much
The darkness might not leave
Pushing forward with all my might
Today am not giving in
I feel I am a stronger person
Then lately I have been
Often disregarded
A disease that remains unseen
Just because others think
Its attention that I need
I wish it was for attention
Then there wouldn't be this pain
I wouldn't feel like my heart is dead
I wouldn't feel insane
But that was yesterday
Today I start again
And even tho I'm all alone
I'll try to be my friend
