Depression – Like a Drug

Depression is just like a drug
That no-one wants to take
With no euphoric, happy feelings
Just leaving a dull ache

It leaches all your hopes and joys
Leaves the world dull
Sight and sound hold no attraction
As your problems you mull

Emptiness is all you feel
In your world that lacks
Experience and feeling
How you wish you could go back

Nothing seems to help
And so you sink yet deeper
And it slowly swallows your mind
Like a blooming creeper

And though it holds no attraction
You can't stop giving in
Soon you feel that your addicted
You can never win
