It's My Depression

[Venting]

This really isn't normal
No matter what you say
"You have a great body"
But I'm getting thinner by the day

This depression is taking hold of me
I don't know what to do
I can't sleep, I don't eat
And I cut myself too

I look and feel anorexic
But people somehow just don't see
They never see this depression
That's taking over me

Every night I stay awake
Into the late hours of the night
Not being able to sleep
Until the break of light

These cuts are my escape
This blade is always by my side
These scars are always here to stay
They must always try to hide

How do I get over this depression?
How do I clean my mind?
Don't tell me "It's just a phase
And it will take a little time"

Endless tears fall from my eyes
And stain my porcelain face
Screaming for someone to take my hand
And help me get away from this place

This depression is so powerful
This depression is far too strong
It forces me to make mistakes
Which I know are very wrong

But these tears just won't dry
My blade won't go away
I'm sleepless every night
And I won't eat... no way

It's my depression...
