Depression


Desperation to receive love and pride from parents

Everyday a struggle to get by alone in high school
Preparing to accept failure
Ready to fall into a sleep like death
Every mistake accounted for
Striving for perfection
Seeking redemption
I've never felt this before

Overcome by immense sadness

Nothing to help me triumph over my mistakes and sorrows
