Tear and sadness

With constant thinking

Will it ever get better?

Or possibly worse?

Pain in my chest

Depression in my head

Heart split in two

I try so hard

In fact, too hard

To make others happy

But I never am

Smiles hide the pain

That burrows deep inside

This demon needs to be released

Before he eats me alive

Everything brings me down

When can I go up?

I really must suck…

No one seems to like me

Like they don’t even care

To me, it just isn’t fair

I can’t live like this

It isn’t right

How can it work?

With so many jerks?

No one knows my pain

They wouldn’t understand

I don’t even know

Where to start

Depression just fills me

Causes me to break

In a place so dark

Is my heart

Cold and lonely

Like I may forever be

Just hope to god

That I can rest again
