Not only do I not have time to be depressed
I can't afford to be depressed
Right now
Life requires me to focus on everyone else
And it's draining me
But I can't afford to take a break
No matter the amount of exhaustion I feel
It doesn't matter about me
It's not about me
And somehow
I take that
And translate it to
I don't matter
But even that doesn't matter
All that matters is that I'm here to help
And if I have to get hurt in the process then
Oh well
I don't have the time
I can't afford to be depressed...
