For Reasons Unknown

You came up to me and asked,
"What's wrong with you today?"
I answered, "It's nothing, don't worry.
I promise I'll be okay."

You seemed to believe me
Though it wasn't true
I hated the lying
I wanted to tell the truth.

But that wasn't possible
I didn't even know what was wrong
All I knew was I was sad
And I'd felt like this for too long.

Sometimes you could make me smile
But it wasn't always enough
Depression was taking over
And it was becoming too much.

I knew that someday soon
I'd finally end my life
I had not eaten in weeks
And there was blood all over my knife.

When I'm gone, I want you to know
That this was something I just had to do
I was depressed for reasons unknown
It wasn't because of you.
