A Recipe For Depression

TAKE A PERSON

A BEING WITH FREE WILL

AND CHAIN THEM DOWN

PREVENTING THEIR DESIRES TO SPILL

KILL THEIR DREAMS

BY TELLING THEM THEY’RE WRONG

DISRESPECT THEM

MAKE THEM FEEL WEAK AND NOT STRONG

WIPE AWAY THEIR SMILE

SMOTHER THE LIGHT IN THEIR SOUL

TEAR THEM APART

UNTIL THEY NO LONGER FEEL WHOLE

BREAK THEIR SPIRIT

SO ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS CRY

SURROUND THEM IN DARKNESS

CAUSING THEM TO COWER INSIDE

TRAP THEM IN THEMSELVES

IN THE BOUNDS OF SOCIAL ROLES

STEAL THEIR AMBITION

SO THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE GOALS

JUDGE THEM

MAKE THEM DOUBT THEIR WORTH

MAKE THEM FEEL USELESS

WISHING THEY WERE NEVER BIRTHED

THEY WERE ONCE HAPPY, LIVELY, AND FULL

BUT BECAUSE OF DEPRESSION,

ALL THEY FEEL IS DULL
