Have you ever felt so alone,
Yet around you are all your friends?Have you ever felt dragged down,
Even when its not them?Depression
Such a word often causes alarm.
But let me break it down to you what depression really means.Depression
The darkness that smothers all lightDepression
The pit from which you cannot escapeDepression
The comforting blacknessDepression
The sickness of the mindDepression
Something to hideDepression isn't always a bad thing
Now let's look at the farce
I
Hide myself awayI
Spout the age old words 'I'm fine'I
Hide behind those who careI
Place a mask on my faceI
Don't let others knowYou all know the farce
But hardly anyone knows the truth
_______________________________________
The masks I wear
Often show no tearSometimes they crack
And that's when THEY attackThe voices are right
Why bother to fight?The darkness approachs
The evil encroachesA silent blanket of black
Often the silent attackIt sneaks up behind
And you whisper 'I'm fine'You push others to talk
Yet when asked the same you simply walkWhat's the purpose of life?
All I see is so much strife.Can it happen to me today?
Can someone come to play?And actually mean the action,
And not separate into factions?These things I feel have one name
And its only purpose is to gainControl over my life is what it needs
But no one cares when I bleedDepression, my old friend
Alone at last, forevermore
