Depression is a dark cloud
That hangs over my head
And won't go away
It's like a heavyweight
That's crushing my chest
And making it hard to breathe
I can't seem to shake it
No matter what I do
It's always there haunting me
And I can't seem to escape
from its clutches
I feel like I'm drowning
In a sea of sadness
And I can't find my way out
I just want the pain to stop
And to feel happy again
But it seems like that's impossible
And I don't know how much longer
I can keep fighting
It feels like I'm losing the battle
But I'm not ready to give up yet
I'll keep fighting
Even when I don't think I can
Because I know there's light
At the end of this dark tunnel
And I'm determined to find it
