>>LYRICS ARE NOT MINE;
"I'll Be Good" by Jaymes Young<<
~
My past has tasted bitter
For years now
So I wield an iron fist
Grace is just weakness
Or so I've been told
I've been cold, I've been merciless
But the blood on my hands scares me to death
Maybe I'm waking up today
I'll be good, I'll be good
And I'll love the world, like I should
I'll be good, I'll be good
I'll be good, I'll be good
For all of the light that I shut out
For all of the innocent things that I doubt
For all of the bruises I've caused and the tears
For all of the things that I've done all these years
And all
Yeah, for all of the sparks that I stomped out
For all of the perfect things that I doubt
~
This song struck me immediately, as The Song for my depression.
Because I have severe anxiety.
I have severe self-doubt.
I have taken compliments in, only for my mind to force me into disbelieving them later on.
I have isolated myself from almost everyone.
I have pushed everything away because it is all too much.
I have given up on myself and my dreams more times than I care to count.
I have relapsed into bad habits.
I have let myself drown in the darkness that belongs to my depression.
I have fought my way out of it, with sharp teeth and sharper claws, because I cannot let it win.
I cannot disappoint those around me that are depending on me.
Ironic, isn't it, for someone who gives in so easily, to keep fighting just as much?
