DEPRESSION: LIFE WITH YOU SOMETIMES IS LIKE A SHIP DESTINED TO SINK
I know you still wish that I remain in this state
And maybe not address my fate
For even if I try not to acknowledge you
I know I’d still feel you
Even in the deep recesses of my mind
I know you’ll never be kind
But I promise you’re not excused
For being the reason I won’t shine
Because even as rain falls on all of us the same
Every day you’re the source of my shame
Every day you’re the source of my shame
And nobody hears as I cry out in pain
You’re the reason my mind is a whirlpool
Of every misdeed it is indeed a cesspool
A cesspool of broken promises
Lies filled with shame and crises
I have tried, I swear, to let go of you
But in the end, you come back for you are me and I am you
The reason I cannot express in words or tears
How much I would love to love life and my fears
The reason my heart is so conflicted with living this lie
This lie that life can be beautiful so sometimes I wish to die
See I didn’t choose to feel miserable
I’m just hounded by voices in my head that my life isn’t incredible
Miserable for I cannot shake this feeling
That I’m living life like a weakling
I feel you in my bones, in every quiver of my beating heart
Just end this someday for I know not this art
This art of living life as a recluse
When all I want is to feel I’m of some use
But I have to let go of you, please leave
For I cannot continue with this pet peeve
You made me think you’re the source of my misery
Yes, but trust me, you’ll regret this sorcery
I’m a fighter baby, so even if you have my mind
Trust me, you’ll never have my heart
I’ll fight back, until I die
Cause baby I know you’re a lie
I am just a soldier
Who doesn’t know when to give up
I’m a lion, the king who always stands up
