Bummed Out
I am upset at everything
I'm moody and unsure
I write with a playful attitude
While depression waits by the door
My friends can't understand
Without some verstehahn
What's in this awful land
That some might call a brain
I smile for a camera
I smile for my friends
I dare not speak of depression
Their ears, it offends
Everyone is there for you
And they are free to talk
But they grow sick of sorries
and think it is a crock
They just don't understand
Why I can't just cheer up
To them, it's a foreign land
In which I am stuck
