Most parents say,
"Stop that hun, depression just a phase"
What they don't understand is,
it lasts longer than a day,
maybe a week, maybe even a month.
but there is no way.... of knowing.
Depression is not just an illness,
Unlike the flu, or common cold.
It can really hurt you, no matter how bold.
It can take your life away.
Even if in those last moments,
you wanted to stay
Just 1 more day.
Depression will stay forever.
As long as humanity lives,
the world will give.
But the world will take,
Lives of people with real heartache
or an ache in a place
that you mistake,
For your heart, but it's really your brain...
And now, you aren't the same.
So please stop saying
'Depression's just a phase"
When you could be saving
Just 1 life everyday.
If people got real help,
they wouldn't need to yelp
in pain, cause they just aren't the same.
