Depressing Things**

The world is full of depressing things.
And people who notice them get depressed.
And we cry and cut and nothing will ever change.

This world is the best world we have.
So why isn't that good enough for me or for anyone?
How do people live happy here?

The world is full of depressing things.
That we pretend to forget when we are listening to the happiness.
But when it gets quiet we are left to think.

This world is the best world we have.
And it's full of words to fill its silence.
But they can't mute the terror, they mask it.

The ones without the curse of good hearing never notice.
The ones who aren't deaf hear the pain.
And we can't stop listening.

We keep listening and we get older.
Getting old is the most depressing thing we do.
And we are doing it constantly.

No matter how much we do the things that we love...
We are always getting old more of the time.
So why not be DEPRESSED.

If we are always doing the most depressing thing we will ever do.
And we are always hearing the depressing things in our ears.
And our only world we will ever have is full of depressing things.
Then why not be depressed.

It isn't rare...
and it comes and goes as it pleases.
It knocks us off our feet when we least expect it.

It blinds us.
It mocks us and shoves us.
And it kicks us when we are down.

It ruins us and it destroys us.
It cracks us until we cant be used again.
Until we are broken beyond repair.

The people who have never felt it won't understand it.
And the people who have will never be the same.
Its the worst feeling that we can feel and the world forces it upon us through the things it shows us.

The world shows us terrible things...
And it expects us to be okay.
And when we aren't it punishes us.

The world makes us listen to depressing things.
The world makes us see depressing things.
The world makes us feel the worst we can.

But in the end it makes us who we are.
We are stronger for it.
