What is this feeling, so sudden but old?
It pushes in, being so bold
It's brings me down
The whole way to the ground
I struggle to fight, to push back, to stand
But I'm unable to do anything without a helping hand
Depression isn't new to me at all,
It simply startles me when I begin to fall
This feeling creeps up like a thief in the night
Stealing my will to get up for the fight
Can it be fought on my own?
I wish that was something I'd known
Before I went crying to the ones that I love
Instead of fleeing like a shy little dove
I should have run, should have hid
But instead I cast my bid
Now I've hurt the ones around me
Even despite my desperate plea
Don't you hear my cry of 'Leave me be!'
And yet you still come to comfort me
Why won't you leave me alone?
I just want to be thrown
Off a roof, in a pit
I don't really care, take your pick
Just live your life, leave me be
I'll only bring pain to those in need

Hey guys, Cassia here...
I don't want you guys to worry about me, I'll be 'fine'.
I've been struggling with depression for a while now, so I'm used to it. I'll be ok.
Take care of yourselves alright? Keep yourself safe and I'll be alright on my own...
Until next time,
