DEPRESSION TRAIL


I'm the girl at the Window I don't like to talk much But I also want to talk Much I love to stand at the Window Listening to my Private Song; my guilt, my past my shame As it sings in my head yet I dry my eyes to hide the pain I smile aloud, I smile at everyone This is my surest exhibition My Surest fake exhibition But I'm Withering I live in the darkest path of Life
I'm the girl with the widest grin you think I'm a queen. I slay but everyday I'm Slain I drown in my depression I'm convinced there's nothing else to live for So I'm not afraid of drowning staying lifeless, afloat the sea of life cos I've drowned everyday in my depression I can never get over my shame that's what I hear everyday in my head as the demons crawls closer 'Remember What you did'? Some Mistakes Indeed take a long time to erase
Accused! I've been Used, abused, accused, refused I've been slapped, spat on my promises broken my secrets spilled Love Lorn! Love has rammed into me with a solid painful fist Helped! I've been helped to get things worse 'help! add a little more salt to my wound' help to fill my cup my days are perfect black days
I'm the girl at the window I'm depressed no I'm depression personified You can never get too little yet you can never get enough of the depression Neglection This is all I had left to stay I need no one but I need Someone who'll hold me tight
I've learnt strength over time cos I've been to hell and back But not anymore I'm starting all over again My past is past No more holding me back The devil only wish he won No holding me back You can't break what's already broken Every saint had a past Every Sinner has a Future There's a bright one for me also for you.
