What Is Deppression

What is Deppression

Sadness after losing a loved one 
Blaming yourself for what happened 
Anger at yourself 
Giving yourself pressure 
Madness at everything 
Hating what you once loved 
Wearing black everyday 
Sad all the time 
Storing your thoughts and feelings 
Wanting to be alone. 

That Is Depression

Right Now

I'd give up everything to move on from where I'm at,
Right now my life is like a puzzle missing a piece,
Or the wall you can't climb.

I need to find the missing piece,
The one thing that will help me understand my life more
The cure for my itch

I'm like a burning house without fire fighters
I need you to hurry,
I'm falling further than I've ever been before

I need to feel the way I do when your with me,
If I don't, I'm going to explode and do something I'll regret later
Just tell me to go and I'll go if it's to meet you

My Endless Love

My Endless Love for you I can't explain
Some people would call me insane

How I go freezing in the cold
How I wish to have you to hold

Yet I go day-by-day loving you and you not even know it
For you, I'd take every hit

I'd take all the pain away, but for only one reason
I love you

Most People

The pain
Most people would find unbearable
But somehow I make it through

The anger
Most people could not deal with it
But I keep it locked up inside me

The talent
Most people would die for it
But I have to live with it

Untitled

I don't know what it is,
But I know that I want it

So you can go ahead and point your fingers,
But at least I can admit it

Say what you want,
Sticks and stones

You'll never see,
But it's everything to me

So what if it'll be a long journey,
At least I'm making something of myself

Why?

Why? 

Why?
Why did you have to go?
I should have known
I shouldn't have expected it to turn out for the best
Because you died like the rest
What did I do so bad
That I wish I never had?
Now I ask myself WHY?
Now I know:
Because I didn't say hi,
Now I have to say good-bye
