Depression

Depression... this is for the people who are going through depression, who like I went through depression and for all the people who know people going through depression. Bear in mind, that I am no expert.. This is just me, my feelings talking.
* O, and thank you for taking the time to read it of course! *

Today I thought of something, which I swore I would never do.
I found myself thinking of depression and all the things that I went through.
I promised myself to never cry, and of course to never show my fears.
But for the first time that I can remember, I shed some honest tears.

When you think about depression and the way it controls your life,
you really want to give it up, you've even got the knife.
I know how you feel, I felt it too and you think it will never end.
The rain falls down and you realize, that the hurt is your only friend.

I wonder what you went through, why is it all so bad?
Do your parents hardly look at you? Do they think that you've gone mad?
Did you see your best friend die, and you can't let that guilt thing go.
you think about it all the time, don't cry honey I know.
Did you get raped, and you just can't forget his voice?
You were too scared, I know, you didn't have a choice.

I know it all, I've been there too, and the scars don't fade away.
Maybe less visible on the outside, but on the inside they will stay.
But you should know, you might be fine, don’t give up just yet.
There’s someone out there for you, even tough you haven’t met.
