Depression - a weight that surrounds me with darkness
A simple word that hides the real sadness beneath madness
Sleepless nights, eyes empty of emotion, a heart heavy with pain
No one to share the burden, no one to care

My mind is a thunderstorm, lightning striking with harshness
My soul thrives in darkness, consumed by shadows of self-hatred
I'm broken, irreparably damaged, a life unlived
A canvas, painted with harsh strokes and black paint

I asked for happiness, but received only depression
A fading light, consumed by the darkness that destroys my kindness
What's left to do, but surrender to the pain?
A rope that ties around my neck, taking my life in

Days go together, a never-ending void
I'm lost the mirrors, with reflections of self-doubt staring back
Unable to find my way, no escape from this pain
A bird in the cage, unable to come out of it's place

I'm not my former self, a corpse devoid of emotions
Haunted by memories, with no escape.
Is it better to let go?
Or hold on to it?

Is it better to let go?Or hold on to it?
