Echos OF Silence: The Unspoken Struggles Of Mental Health

Depression

I wake up each day with a heavy weight

The darkness inside, it's hard to escape

I try to push through, but it's always the same

Living with depression, it's a never-ending game

I feel like I'm drowning, suffocating in pain

No one understands, they think I'm just being vain

But it's more than sadness, it's a constant despair

A never-ending storm, with no one to repair

It's hard to explain, the thoughts in my head

The constant battle, the war that I dread

I'm tired of fighting, but I have no choice

I have to keep going, I have to find my voice

Some days are better, but most are a blur

I try to hold on, but sometimes I lose the stir

I isolate myself, in my own little bubble

Trying to find some peace, in all the constant struggle

My mind is a prison, my thoughts are the guards

They keep me trapped, in a world that's so hard

I long for the light, but it seems so far away

Living with depression, it's a high price to pay

People say 'just be happy', 'snap out of it'

But they don't understand, it's not that easy to quit

It's like a deep wound, that never seems to heal

But I keep on fighting, I won't let it steal

The beauty of life, the moments of joy

I hold on to them, like a precious toy

They give me hope, in the midst of the pain

They remind me that there's still something to gain

I live with severe depression, it's a part of me

But it doesn't define me, I'm still breaking free

I may be battling, but I won't let it win

I'll keep on fighting, until I find my zen

So to all those who are struggling, I want you to know

You're not alone, in this endless shadow

Together we'll fight, we'll hold each other's hand

And we'll keep on going, until we reach the promise land.
