my tumor

there's a switch on my heart
it reads "depression"
there's a tumor in my brain
it grows and envelopes my thoughts
it forces my heart to turn the switch
over and over it turns
and each time my heart aches
i feel broken
i feel as if it's me against the world
and im losing
like the underdog
yet i have no chance,
at beating my mind,
and the tumor that has grown there
i feel as if i can never win
as if my tumor will finally crush the small minuscule hope that i have left
it will eventually win
and i will never return
to the girl i used to be
the one with no problems
the one that was carefree...happy
but that hasn't been me
not since i was five
i don't know if i can ever get my five year old self back
but i'll try
i'll keep trying
and maybe... i'll win
