Emotions are drawing me,
a chain around my neck
to where everyone can see
my heart a scathing wreck
My iron shackles hefty
Doesn't anyone care?
Hefty with the weight of loss
Will someone hear my prayer?
They are all monsters, demons
created in my heart
escaped and became burdens
They're tearing me apart
Leaving their vile residue
They successfully keep
Their inky, gloomy hues
Towering me, a sheep
Try to flee their sluggish hold
As slow as they may be
Their dingy power untold
Afflicting it unto me
Where is the ease of childhood?
Where is the harmony?
Where is people's sense of good?
Where is my sense of me?
My time is nearing its end
I am plagued with this soot
On love is what I depend
Sorrow is where I'm put
But sorrow is not where I
Should be, but joy and cheer
"Depression!", I should not cry,
Crying out, "I live in fear!"
Release me from my prison
Let me run home to Life
There, Life's worth being risen
Here, it's not worth the strife
In my cave of solitude
The clear, gelid ice soiled
Diamond glaciers are consumed
In gloopy black jealousy
Back when Life was worth living
She was extant with me
We had love that kept giving
Or so I thought to be
Abandoning me in here
Freezing without warmth
Blinding without a bright blaze
Dying without a care
