                                                                      Depression is 

 

Depression.

Now, don't act like I haven't gotten your attention

I've been there before

But now I am here to open a brand new door

Most people, you see, most people, when they hear the word depression

They then start to feel this great suppression 

 

Now depression gets the best of us

Like creepy crawlers feeling like they must

Must take away our beating heart 

Our ability to be happy--so sad it tears us apart

With our nails bitten down to the nub

As we blindly hold out our hands so far as we so desperately run

Run.

 Run away from those that hurt us, run away from the pain that infects our brain with pus, run, from the society that has ignored and shunned us. Run.

They give you antidepressants to ease the pain

Well I'm telling you now, antidepressants don't keep you sane 

You pop a pill and feel happy for a while

Then reality hits and you throw up some bile

They suppress the problem, they do not fix 

And they cannot help the pain stitch 

 

There are some of you who feel worthless, as if your presence disturbs us

There are some of you who feel guilty for nothing you've done, wanting to bake dead under the sun

There are some of you who feel as if you have nothing to give out, so you cry and silently shout

There are some of you out there, that don't feel anything anymore--numb to the pain without a care

 

You blame your parents, you blame those around us, or you just blame yourself 

You feel as if nobody cares about you and you're better off alone and sleeping on a shelf

You hate yourself and all your flaws

All those people who have rejected you, shunned you, made fun of you, bullied you, hurt you--just!

 

Let me tell you now, wake up.

Wake up to this dirty yet beautiful world

Wake up to those who do care about you 

Wake up and realize that In our eyes that you are not selfish for wanting the pain to go away

Wake up and realize that

You are worth it

You are beautiful

You are one of a kind and nobody can duplicate you

You are warm and alive 

People love and care about you

People need you

And if you're still not convinced

Let me tell you

I care

I know you're important

I know you're worth it

I love you for you

You are not perfect, but neither am I 

Or rather, none of us are

We're just human

So keep living 

Living with that beating heart 

Living with love 

 

I know for a fact if you try hard, you can change

People can change 

So change your depression from suppression and the feeling of a nonexistent oppression to absolute content

 

You're not too much you're not too little

You're just right in my eyes

So now, tell it good bye 

Never come again 

Now my friend, this has reached the end

 

Depression is...dead.
