All the thoughts that one thinks of in everyday life!
People say chin up
But I just feel like giving up
People say smile & it will all go away
But I feel like crying each day
This constant pain is so hard to live through
Lie in bed and see the day dawning
Hate myself for waking up each morning
I know I need help & I know I need support
Don't want to spend my life feeling this way
It's just to short
But I just can't seem to speak out
Say what's this feeling all about
Even if I did tell someone ,what could they do?
I don't think they could fix this ,do you?
I'm so sick & tired of feeling this way
I want to smile & laugh ,for real & be happy ,each & every day
There's sometimes in the day when I forget about it all
When I smile & laugh
But when I remember it's like a ten thousand foot fall
Do you know what it's like for your eyes to constantly sting?
Do you know what it's like to be happy & at the same time feel nothing?
I don't think I could end this without living the rest of my life
See my mind & body shudders when I think of picking up a knife
But I really don't feel like I can carry on this way ,feeling so low & empty each & every day
It's so hard for to admit to myself exactly what's wrong
Hard for me to show myself that I'm not that strong
This idea of happiness
you may say
I'm a little obsessed
But I think right now
I finally see
I'M DEPRESSED
