Depression Is My...

Depression is my friend
It has been for many years
The only thing that remained
Through the blood and tears

The only one I can count on
To stay when I cannot cope
Always tells me the truth
Life for me holds no hope

Depression is my enemy
It clutches onto my soul
Haunts me in my sleep
Leaving me without control

I have marks on the outside
On the inside I have scars
It holds me prisoner always
In a cell with huge iron bars

Depression is my friend
The only one to understand
When I am scared at night
It silently takes my hand

Helps me realize who I am
See that my future will not be bright
Takes off my rose tinted glasses
I know I will not win this fight

Depression is my enemy
It has been since I was a kid
Handed to me a life sentence
Happiness it does forbid

I will die before my time
Lowered into an early grave
A child lost to depression
The girl no-one could save
