...
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Or so it is said
But depression didn't kill me
Just made me wish I was dead
Ironic.......isn't it?
I was stuck in the darkness
Hadn't seen light for a while
I was screaming and crying
"Somebody please get me out of here"
But nobody came
I was alone
Except for the voices in my head
They screamed at me everyday
Saying I needed to go
To leave
To find someplace else to be
They wanted me to vacate
Somehow I started to listen
Heard the voices whispering
Again and again
"Worthless"
"WASTE OF SPACE"
"NOBODY CARES ABOUT HER"
And I agreed
I believed them
But then you came along
You tried to pull me out of the darkness
But I was too far in
Too far gone
You tried to pull me up
But I'd been down for so long
So I pulled you in
To enjoy the darkness with me....
