Life With Depression


Depression hurts the souls of all And though it tries to bring us down We all have the will to fight Nobody wants to die Though we sometimes laugh and joke about it all the same Nobody wants to feel so lost That they just can't take it anymore. But sometimes the feelings creep up And depression tries to take us over And if you're feeling that alone Who knows what depression can make you do. Sure the cutting let's it out some And at least you have a bit more control. But in the end depression keeps coming back. Sure you can drown it in pills. Until you're lying on your back. In a hospital bed With dear ones crying over you. How do you feel now? Maybe depression goes away after that. Getting help from others. But what if it doesn't? Or what if your failure to die. Or to try dying at all Passed that depression on to someone who cared so deeply for you. And now the cycle starts all over again. We all know depression hurts. It's not a light subject to talk about But when someone you love is being possessed What are you doing to do? Or will you even know? It's all about depressions face. And learning what it looks like. To save the life of someone else. Or maybe even yourself someday. Don't take depression lightly. Or the person you love may lie there Unbreathing. On the cold hard ground. While you were sleeping. The soul of another beauty Now lies resting In the ugly ground While depression keeps taking.
