Depression Comparison


How black is the night with the bleakest dawn How long do you mourn after no one is gone The shoulder of life comes not alone or easy to bare Accompanying it is a cold, listless stare Bury yourself with thoughts about life None of it will spare your guilt, nor your strife Darkness surrounds you, but alone through the must You choose not to walk, but in the light which you trust To choose no path, you break away from it all But with no path to follow, brace for your fall It's time to face the facts, my dear There is no greater life than the one you have here
