When You See Someone Depressed


If you see someone depressed Don't ask them why they're stressed It does no help most of the time. When you see one sitting on the floor At the corner of the room or by the door And you think they seem to got sour Slowly walk to their side without Telling them a word and put out Your heart, your art, whatever you can give them Put your arms around them and let them Know they're worth loving and you love 'em Don't do anything if you're gonna make It seem like you are sorry for them. Don't even walk pass them Don't even stay in the same room Don't ever walk in the same building Don't ever breathe the same air And don't even exist on the same planet With them if that's what you'll do. If you really don't find it dangerous to Make them feel like they're a portrait of a failure You better suddenly dissappear Without even a word with them. If you're gonna throw a pitiful look at them You better carve your eyes out instead. Because they did nothing to deserve Such a catastrophe like you.
