What depression feels like
Nobody seems to understand, so let me explain myself.
I feel like im an untouched book alone on a forgotten shelf.
Like people see me but no one cares
And pick me up? Read me? No one dares
For I am like a dictionary, only used when needed
And im at war with myself, a war in which ive been defeated
For all my pages make no since, no, not even i can comprehend
And when i need help no one offers a single hand to lend
But my mixture of words has beauty,
The kind no one will ever see.
For they have given up on the lonely soul that makes me.
But why? I dont get it
Im not a burden, im not the piece that wont fit
Into this puzzle of life we all contribute
Except it seems like in this world i am mute
I have no say, i have no meaning
All the weight on my shoulders has got me leaning
Close to falling, close to breaking
All the smiles you see, thats me faking
Faking a perfect life, one with no strife,
When in reality im falling
I want to die but i seem to be stalling
But why? All i do is mess up
Im the flat head when all you need is a phillips
But ill stay here, in case im needed
For one day i know i will be treated
The way i deserve to be
And i know one day my heart will be filled with glee
For i know im enough
I just have to stay tough
Because right now life may be rough
but it gets better and stuff
So keep marching on, even if it gets hard
I know you will succeed, i know youll get far
Im always a message away,
And im not going anywhere, i promise ill stay
Because every life has a perpose and mine is helping you,
So that you dont have to.
You dont have to worry, you will be okay
All your demons will be slayed
Just dont give up, dont give in
Smile, and keep on livin’
