I ain no rapper I'm a poet
I'm really sad but you won't know it
My smile fake
Lately I been on thin ice and I'm tryna skate
But Depression is something that's hard to escape
It's like walls closing in and getting closer to fate
Life's coming so fast and just wanna wait

Anxiety takes you and now you can't breathe
You turn to the drugs hoping for some relief
But their never enough and you just wanna leave
You're calm on the outside but inside you scream
You don't open up cause you feel like you're weak
You keep it inside tell you're friends you're fine
Then you go home that same night in you cry
Lay in you're bed wishing you weren't alive
Open the bottle you take about five
You wonder how many it takes till you die
You throw the bottle you're taking to god
Asking to take away all of the pain all of the Shame all  of the hurtful things that people say that constantly replay in you're mind everyday

You're stronger than what you are you just don't know it
You're scared but never show it
You're whole but you're heartbroken
You're woke but you're not focused
You're quiet but outspoken
You're sad and think they don't notice
You're young and you're still growin
It's okay but you don't know it
You just need a helping hand
The lord said "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand"
He always has a plan
...but what do I know...
I'm not a rapper I'm just a poet
