Lost Battle

My life is nearly over
I have know that forever
Depression will kill me
I have no control whatsoever

I want to survive life
But I know I have no strength
I can not hold on anymore
The rope is losing length

At twenty years of age
I do not see a future ahead
Because of the evil in life
Soon a young girl will be dead

I was not mean to stay here
Too many obstacles in my way
I wanted to prove them wrong
But they refuse to let me stay

My family will cry for me
But they will never understand
How hard I found living here
Or why I had to leave this land

I have cried for so many nights
I have suffered so much pain
And every time it gets better
I slowly go back to being insane

Depression is seen as a stigma
I hear whispers as I walk past
And it is not like I can escape
For my disease was built to last

My soul was crushed years ago
My dreams have been shattered
Things will never change now
I have lost everything that mattered
