living with depression


somedays i feel like there's nothing to live for

somedays i feel there's no need to move on

sometimes i wonder what's going to happen next

then sometimes i'm just filled with pain

 

left to wander my endless thoughts

left to wait to see

by myself i sit and wait

but soon my thoughts take me away

 

to somewhere i can live

to somewhere nothing can hurt me

to somewhere where someone cares

to somewhere just for me

 

i have the best time there

memories that'll last for years

i know it's too good to be true

but i savor every moment

 

my thoughts come back now

awakening me for my sleep

it's another pointless day

and another day for the pain to come over me
