Depression Is Who I Am...

by Kailynn Makenna   May 27, 2005


When I wake up in the morning
I just can’t help but cry
Because it really hurts to know
That inside I want to die

This life I thought I had
Has fallen before my eyes
And the only way to hide it
Is to cover it up with lies

It seems I'm always crying
And crying is all I do
And all this makes me question
If ill ever make it through

I thought I had it all
But the truth is I was wrong
And each day it gets harder
To continue being strong

My smiles looking fake
And my eyes are showing tears
And all I guess this shows
Is that I have so many fears

I’ve tried to make this right
I’ve done my very best
But it doesn’t even matter
For in the end I am depressed

Depression is what I am
And who I am inside
And even thought I’ve tried
From depression I cannot hide...
